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 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 need it. 
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world. 

Both of freedom and of pleasure, 
Nothing ever lasts forever, 
Everybody wants to rule the world
