Everybody Wants to Rule the World Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
Actin' on your best behavior
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 lights won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumblin' 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

[Outro]
Everybody wants to rule the world
