Lyrics

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 desire
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 beside you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad we had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule
Everybody wants to rule
Everybody wants to rule the world
Written by: Chris Merrick Hughes, Ian Stanley, Roland Orzabal
