WORKING MAN
Imagine Dragons(이매진 드래곤스) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shake it, shake it
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
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

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

These messages can create fear and anxiety.


I'm tired of the books and I'm tired of the tables
I'm fed up with the same old grind and routine.


Everything is made with the same old labels
People are judged or stereotyped based on their appearance or circumstances.

I remember last year, I had to start and finish my coursework in one day in order to get a passing grade, and during so I listened to the whole Night visions album, such a good mix to listen to when grinding out coursework. However when ever I listen to any of these songs now, it takes me back and reminds me of school and I never get any work done, such good memories attached to these songs tho.

samuel g

Ikr ;p kinda sad at times

The Local Asian

Imagine Dragons my most favorite band ever. Been listening to their songs for 3 years and looking for new songs from them. This song proves that Imagine Dragons never gets old (not tired of the first song ive ever heard from Imagine Dragons)

Lighter Green
