Welcome to your life

Theres 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

Its my own design

Its 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

Theres a room where the light wont find you

Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down

When they do Ill be right behind you

So glad weve almost made it

So sad they had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

I cant stand this indecision

Married with a lack of vision

Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that youll 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
