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, 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
(The world, the world)
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
No matter who you see
Or who you try to be
Everybody wants to rule the world
No matter what you do
No matter who you say
Everybody wants to rule the world
Whether it's you, whether it's me
Or him, or her
We all want to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
No matter who you be
No matter who you please
Everybody wants to rule the world
(The world, the world)
