Everybody Wants to Rule the World Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

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

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

[Bridge]
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]
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

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

[Breakdown]
Say that you'll never ever need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Chorus]
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

About

“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is Roberto Burgos' cover of English pop band Tears for Fears hit song from 1985. He puts his own spin on it by changing the original’s new wave/synth-pop sound into a more jazzy feel. His mom, known as “Mama Bee,” talked about his love for jazz in an Instagram post:

Since he was a baby, we’ve danced together to Frank Sinatra, Plácido Domingo, Dean Martin, Il Divo, Pavarotti, and Andrea Bocelli. […] He’s the only teenager I know of that knows all the lyrics to every Frank Sinatra song.
