[Verse 1: Anthony David]
Welcome to your life
There's no turnin' back
Even while we sleep
We will find you

[Chorus: Anthony David]
Actin' on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Verse 2: Shawn Stockman]
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the

[Chorus: Shawn Stockman]
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Bridge: Anthony David]
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

[Chorus: Anthony David & Shawn Stockman]
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus: Shawn Stockman]
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Chorus: Anthony David & Shawn Stockman]
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Chorus: Anthony David & Shawn Stockman]
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
