Everybody wants to rule the world

 

(*) Tears for Fears

Welcome to your life 

There's no turning back 

Even while we sleep 

We will find you acting on your best behavior 

Turn your back on mother nature 

Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design 

It's my own remorse 

Help me to decide 

Help me make the most 

Of freedom and of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever 

Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room 

Where the light won't find you 

Holding hands 

While the walls come tumbling down 

When they do

I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it 

So sad they had to fade it 

Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision 

Married with a lack of vision 

Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never 

Never never never need it 

One headline 

Why believe it?

Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure 

Nothing ever lasts forever 

Everybody wants to rule the world
