Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
[Verse 2]
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Verse 3]
It's my own desire
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
[Verse 4]
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Verse 7]
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Verse 8]
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
[Verse 9]
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Verse 10]
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
