A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our carefully laid plans


Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your $$# out in that street

You're gonna make us scream someday
You're gonna make it big


You love so deep, so tender
Your people and your land
You love 'em 'till they can't recall

Who they are again

Work it, work it baby

Work your way 'round that room
You're gonna make it big some day
You're gonna make a boom


But I am
But I am

But I am not a number, not a name

But I am

But I am
But I am a carefully laid plan


Shake what your mama gave you
You know that it won't last
You're gonna taste the ground real soon

You're gonna taste the grass

A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men

This is how it happens
Our world under command


Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your $$# out in that street
You're gonna make us scream someday

You're gonna make us weak

You're gonna make us scream someday

You're gonna make it big
