Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Curt Smith


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 for ever 
Everybody wants to rule the world
