[Verse 1]
Oh, quiet down, I've had enough
I guess it's now or never
I've been around, I've settled up
I'll bolt soon or later

[Pre-Chorus]
I took a photograph of me
When I was only nineteen
I looked a little lost at sea
I keep trying to find me

[Chorus]
So pray for me, brother, I need redemption
I'm just a man, a man on a mission
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Pray for me, sister, give me a mention
I got no faith, and oh, did I mention
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble

[Verse 2]
Oh pack it up, and hit the road
And only take my lighter
I've seen the glitz, I've seen the glam
But I prefer the pay dirt

[Pre-Chorus]
I took a photograph of me
When I was only nineteen
I looked a little lost at sea
I keep trying to find me

[Chorus]
So pray for me brother, I need redemption
I'm just a man, a man on a mission
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Pray for me sister, give me a mention
I got no faith, and oh, did I mention
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble

[Bridge]
Maybe you could save my soul
From all the things that I don't know
Maybe you could save my soul
From all the things that I don't know

[Chorus]
So pray for me brother, I need redemption
I'm just a man, a man on a mission
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
Pray for me sister, give me a mention
I got no faith, and oh, did I mention
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
I want no trouble, I want no trouble

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.
