[Verse 1]
Well, I got more trouble than I'll ever need
And it’s less money than I know what to do with
Hard living like to bring me to my knees
And I don't even know if I'm gonna get through it
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t tell me that my patience is a virtue
I need some good news, I need some good news
Don't tell me that I got to be without you
I got to have, I got to have some of that–
[Chorus]
Sweet life
Sweet life

I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm

I need it now, babe, I need it now
You know it's hard living in a permanent shadow
I'm gettin' out now, I’m gettin’ out

Mine, all mine
I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm for good
[Instrumental Break]

Sweet life
Sweet life
Mine, all mine
Sweet life
Sweet life
Mine, all mine
I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm
I got to shake, shake
Shake the bad rhythm for good
