Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Paperback Hero

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 your pleasure 
Nothing ever lasts forever

There's a room where the life won't find you 
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down 
If they do I'll be right behind you 

So glad we 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… 
Say that you'll 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
