Whatever It Takes - Live in Vegas Songtext
von Imagine Dragons

We′re just getting started Vegas
We got some surprises for you tonight

Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling is vulturous
Negative, nepotist

Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
But I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip, run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord, break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip, word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip, break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes, oh (oh-oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (oh-oh)
′Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains


I do whatever it takes, oh (oh-oh)
Take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes (oh-oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes

Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body, feeling miserable
I′m always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible

Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody need to be a part of ′em
Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip, run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord, break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip, word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip, break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes, oh (oh-oh)
′Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (oh-oh)
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains


I do whatever it takes (oh-oh)
Take me to the top, I′m ready for
Whatever it takes (oh-oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes

Hypocritical, egotistical, don′t wanna be the parenthetical
Hypothetical, working hard on something that I'm proud of
Out of the box, an epoxy to the world, the vision we've lost
I′m an apostrophe, a symbol to remind you that there′s more to see

A product of the system, a catastrophe, yet, a masterpiece
Yet, I'm half-diseased, and when I am deceased
At least I′ll go down to the grave and die happily
And leave my body and my soul to be a part of thee

I do what it takes

Las Vegas
Let's go

Whatever it takes, oh (oh-oh)
′Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes (oh-oh)
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Whatever it takes, oh (oh-oh)
Take me to the top, I′m ready for whatever it takes (oh-oh)
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
