作曲 : Roland Orzabal/Ian Stanley/Christopher Merrick Hughes

Welcome to your life

Theres 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

Theres 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 weve 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 youll 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
