Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while we sleep

We will find you

Acting out your best behavior

Turn your back on mother nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own desire

It's my own reward

Help me to decide

Help me make the most of freedom

And our 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 take 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'l never never never need it

One headline why believe it

Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure

Nothing lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world
