Imagine Dragons - Working Man Lyrics






[2x]
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

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

[2x]
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 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

[2x]
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

[4x]
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

    Oh thank goodness it isn't a Rush cover. I saw the name of the song and I thought "oh god no, please no"

  20. S.... S....

    H.... M....

    We're about to enter a new decade tomorrow and I'm still listening to this masterpiece lol

  38. W.... 8....

    This album is so bipolar. There are some cheerful, happy songs, like “Working Man,” and “On Top Of The World,” but there are some deep, dark, sad songs, like “Demons,” and “Amsterdam.”

  39. A.... R....

    I can imagine multiple people working to the beat of this song.

  40. V.... S....

    2019???

  41. A.... P....

    Spotify is a joke!

  42. L.... A....

    Wow
    This is so different from Evolve
    😂
    Reminds me a lot of the EPs

    L.... A....

    exactly. This is from 2012, from the first album.

  44. I.... B....

    I.... B....

    Yup. I hate that too.
    I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO IT WITH HAVING TO USE A RADIO ON PANDORA

  45. F.... ....

    sounds like a coca cola commercial song.

  46. I.... P....

    Weird it’s not on their album anyomore on Spotify

  47. L.... E....

    Working man

  70. *.... ....

    Well since everyone else does it on all the other videos I guess its my turn.

    My favorite ID songs -
    1- Shots
    2- Trouble
    3- Amsterdam
    4- Hopeless Opus
    5- Working Man

    6- 30 Lives
    7- Cha-Ching
    8- Rise Up
    9- Fallen
    10- Pistol Whip

    All the other songs are tied for 11th XD

  71. R.... P....

    I feel as if this song would be in a musical period drama movie about a late 19th-early 20th century young American coal miner, and in my mind it would be the character singing the song while dancing at a dance hall, with colourful visuals and advanced choreography. Perfection!

  72. s.... g....

    i love you imagine dragons

  73. B.... 1....

    I was searching for Rush not Imagine Dragons lol

  74. a.... ....

    Major throwback. Always a favorite :)

  75. C.... 1....

    This is my Masturbation song.

  76. G.... S....

    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

    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

    [2x]
    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 tired of the tables
    Everything is made with the same old labels
    No, no oh oh

    Shake it

  77. S.... ....

    One of my favorites!!

  78. D.... C....

    The rush version isn’t gay

  79. c.... ....

    why isn't this particular song on Spotify?

  80. c.... a....

    Brazil loveee

  81. S.... G....

    150 people aren't working man's

  82. T.... H....

    they need to do a challenge to not dance to this song.
    but thats too cruel

  83. A.... P....

    How is this not on Spotify?

  84. M.... R....

    Oh god at 2x speed lol

  85. R.... ....

    This song motivates me on days when going to work is just a bit harder. Also, Night Visions is a great album for long road trips! my go-to everytime.

  86. D.... A....

    143 people liked this song so much that they turned their device upside down so they could like it again

  87. J.... ....

    Not the usual Imagine Dragons style. Its more poppy.

  88. J.... P....

    Other people: "Imagine Dragons never sing about money."
    Me: "Working Man."

  89. M.... ....

    Awesome!!

  90. S.... Q....

    it is impossible to not dance or sing during this song<3!

  91. E.... A....

    I feel like this song is underappreciated, even among the Imagine Dragons community.

  92. A.... M....

    I love this song and it makes me think fondly about chicken joe. I wanna be like him

  93. M.... J....

    anyone else still listing in 2017?

  94. D.... ....

    NO ! I LOOKED TO MUCH FOR THE ORIGINAL SONG NOT NIGHT CORE AND ITS NOT EVEN HEREEEEEEEE :(((((((((

  95. J.... L....

    Working Man, but every time he says shake it, it plays We are Number One, but every one is replaced with the Bee movie, but after every frame with the color yellow in it, the entire Shrek saga plays, but every syllable is replaced with the Chicken Run movie, but every time a chicken fails to fly it gets ten percent slower, but every time an egg is shot out of the cannon on the plane, it plays every Spongebob episode, but every time he flips a Krabby Patty, All Star plays, but every all is replaced with the Ice Age saga, but every time Scratt does something stupid it's the Roblox death sound.

    J.... L....

    no no god no no no please god no no NOOOOOOOOOOO
