Everybody Wants to Rule the World Lyrics by Trevor Horn

Trevor Horn Reimagines the 80s

2018

[Verse 1]
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep 
We will find you acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Verse 2]
(Ooh)
It's my own desire (Ooh)
It's my own remorse (Ooh)
Help me to decide (Ooh)
Help me 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
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Verse 3]
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 need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world, the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
