[Chorus]
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake, it shake it, and we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it shake it, and we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it

[Verse 1]
Every little bit goes a little of a long way
Life gets hard and I'm headed for the highway
Home, ho-oh-oh-ome (Ho-oh-oh-ome)
Caught up in the middle of a headache and a heartbreak
Just when I thought I was clear of the mistakes
No, no-oh-oh-oh (No-oh-oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me, tell me, tell me
What am I to do?
I think that this life is darker than the view
So help me, help me, help me
Be a little more like you
When everything is falling
I'm gonna do the things you do

[Chorus]
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it

[Verse 2]
Everything is serious and everything is fatal
That's what they tell you and that's how they make you
Know, know-oh-oh-oh (Know-oh-oh-oh)
I'm tired of the books and tired of the tables
Everything is made with the same old labels
No, no-oh-oh-oh (No-oh-oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me, tell me, tell me
What am I to do?
I think that this life is darker than the view
So help me, help me, help me
Be a little more like you
When everything is falling
I'm gonna do the things you do

[Chorus]
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money's high, we can start to spend
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money's high, we can start to spend
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money's high, we can start to spend
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it, and we're moving again
When the money's high, we can start to spend
Shake it

Imagine Dragons

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
