[Verse 1]
It's been a long time comin’, comin'
Seeming like we all been runnin', runnin’
Feeling like the wild west, gunnin', gunnin'
Listen to our elders shunnin', shunnin'
Flipping on the news beat talkin', talkin'
All about the problems, shockin', shockin’
We put on our headphones walking, walking
We put on our headphones

[Chorus]
Where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?

[Verse 2]
All we see is faces, color, color
All the other races, other, other
Why can’t you just be my brother, brother?
We don't have to kill one another, kill one another
All around the world, we are one, we are one
All around the world, we are one

[Chorus]
So where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love
(It’s darkest before the dawn)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
(Love is our only hope)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?

[Bridge]
'Cause we got the same blood, blood
We got the same blood, blood
Will it be enough, 'nough?
Will it be enough?
We got the same heartbeat
We're living for the same dream
We got the same bloodstream
Where did we all go wrong?
Woo

[Chorus]
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love, love
(It’s darkest before the dawn)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
(Love is our only hope)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love, oh
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love

[Outro]
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Where did we all, where did we all?
Where did we all, where did we all? (Oh)
Where did we all, where did we all?
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all?
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all?
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?

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.
