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, 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
