Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
So shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it, shake it
Been a long time coming for the working man
So shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
Shake it
Every little bit goes a little of a long way
Life gets hard and I'm headed for the highway home, home
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
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
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
Everything is serious and everything is fatal
That's what they tell you
And that's how they make you know, know
I'm tired of the books and I'm tired of the tables
Everything is made with the same old labels
No, no oh oh
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
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
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, 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

Life can sometimes feel hopeless and bleak
Be a little more like you
Asking for guidance and inspiration from a positive influence

During tough times, we strive to emulate those who handle challenges well
Everything is serious and everything is fatal
The world can feel pessimistic and hopeless
That's what they tell you
Society can have a negative influence on our perception of life
Tired of the books and I'm tired of the tables
Sick of the same old routines and ways of doing things
Everything is made with the same old labels
Everything can feel repetitive and unoriginal

The Hog Rider is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a quick building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
When he is jumping over the river, he cannot be targeted by any ground attacking units. The Log and Earthquake will fail to damage a Hog Rider while he is jumping. Air troops can still attack him though, and the Inferno Tower and Inferno Dragon will continue to ramp up their damage.
When countering Hog Riders, obviously use buildings. But be wary as it the offender would usually play around it with cards such as Earthquake. Air swarms such as Minion Horde can help due to the Hog's usual support tools not countering them.
On the offender's side, a powerful move is to accompany him with an Earthquake, obliterating almost every building, and also grounded swarms. To a lesser extent, Lightning could also be used, retaining the same point of almost destroying every building while also crippling troops such as the Wizard or the Hunter.
The Log could also be an effective first play as a cycle, but it only kills swarms and sometimes a non-center-placed Tombstone.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the defender will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, the offender should use a spell like Arrows to render the defender poetically defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily.

I remember this song from when I first started listening to them years ago its great to see it get rebooted and more well known. All in all this is a great song and I highly recommend looking at Imagine Dragons older songs, they just hit different.

CONTEXTO:
La canción muestra a alguien joven que apenas y comienza a tener un empleo, que va en el autobús a casa, cansado y parece que las cosas no le están saliendo bien.
"Shake it" Significa "Sacudir", y parece que es el consejo de un padre a su hijo, diciendole que deje de lado todos ese pensar y comience a intentarlo otra vez. "Se necesita mucho tiempo para ser un hombre trabajador".
"Cuando comiences a ganar dinero podrás gastarlo".
La canción se mantiene optimista con estos consejos, pero se traslada al momento en que el protagonista está en medio de su viaje para ser músico. Allí comienza a quejarse de sobre el prejuicio que conlleva elegir un camino que no es el usual, pero agradece que su padre le haya dado esos consejos, pues le sirvieron para no rendirse y lograr sus sueños.
Aunque quizás no haya sido "hombre trabajador" que él quería.
