Everybody Wants To Rule The World Lyrics

Artist: Tears For Fears

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.

Acting out my best behavior eh? That's funny, if I was gonna rule the world, I wouldn't do it on my best behavior.

In Real life, I can't stand this indecision

You missed an entire verse! Here it is:
I Can't stand this indecision
Married with the argyle vision
Everybody wants to rule the....
Say that you'll rule with me baby
That you'll never never leave me
Everybody wants to rule the world
After freedom after pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

What? Somebody thank me! [I can't stand this indecision] is my favorite part of the whole song! The lyricsdepot people left it out, so I put it back in. Someone thank me!

Actually its not "married with the argle vision"... It's "married with a lack of vision"

Argyle is a classic fabric pattern...

But thank you for putting the most crucial verse back in the song!

It"s funny though. I Had to see the word behavior on the lyricsdepot screen to get me thinking acting out your best behavior to start thinking indecision to notice/realize they forgot to add the best part of the song!
