Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Craig Cardiff Lyrics
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
They will find you
And acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire
It's my own crave
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 hand
While the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right beside you
So sad they had to fade in
So sad they could not make it
Everybody wants to rule
Everybody wants to rule
Everybody wants to rule the world
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
They will find you
And acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
End.
