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 [bad word] 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 'til 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 one 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

 man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
 This is how it happens
 Our world [bad word] 
 Shake it, shake it baby
 Shake your [bad word] 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
