Everybody
The Greys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get on the dance floor and shake it with me
Well shut your mouth stop all that complaining
About the world and all the suffering
We are so sick of all your opinions
Ain't what you say it's what you do with your guns

Do it like this and we do it like that
Takes more to win than a few good men
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Get up get out and do something,
Go do your part start chipping in

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Live for yourself and you will live in vain
You live for others you will live again
You're either enemy or you are the friend
You're talking talking we'll be glad when you're done
Ain't what you say it's what you do with your love

Do it like this and we do it like that
Takes more to win than a few good men
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Get up get out and do something,
Go do your part start chipping in

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Live for yourself and you will live in vain
You live for others you will live again
You're either enemy or you are the friend

Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Get up get out and do something,




Go do your part start chipping in
Everybody (yeah yeah)

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 desire
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, 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

Of this season this song has to be the most fitting for that particular moment. I've loved mostly all the song so far per scene, but this........ this was breathtakingly perfect. Kudos to you, Aron.

Marina Sancovich

Totally agree with you... I have chills on this song!

I just heard this on Grey's Anatomy today and I thought "I have to find this song!"
I absolutely LOVE this cover so much, and I think it's better than the original in my opinion. Beautiful job :)
