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

It s my own design
It s my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of 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 fade 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 ll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world

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