Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
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
