Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Alternative 7" Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome to your life
There's 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

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

[Verse 3]
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Verse 5]
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
One headline - why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Verse 6]
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

About

This song bio is unreviewed

The alternative single version of Everybody Wants to Rule the World acts as a more radio-friendly edit of the Urban Mix, keeping that version’s new horn riff arrangements, and having a similar but different reverb effect applied to the bridge. This version also contains a non-fadeout cold end to the song, not seen in any other version. While the Urban Mix was just over 6 minutes long, this version clocks in at 4:21. It is not known how this edit originated.
