Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World Lyrics

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

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
