Everybody Wants to Rule the World
J.UNA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take it back
Let's go!

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 yea
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

A bag full of hope
And a pocket of loose change
I came to the city with nobody with me
Today be a new day
And it's hard to let go
You got dreams of your own
And it's hard to relate
When you alienate to a lady you are
And now that we've grown
We're a little bit wiser
They told us sometimes
That we got forever
Now we gonna rise up

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you never never never need it
One handle line by believin'
Everybody wants to rule the world
The world
Say they wanna rule the world
Yes they do, yeah




They want to
They want to, yeah
