welcome to your life
there's no turning back
even while we sleep
we will find you
acting on your best behaviour
turn your back on mother nature
everybody wants to run the world
help me make the most
of freedom and of pleasure
nothing ever lasts forever
everybody wants to run 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
everybody wants to run the world
everybody wants to run the
say that you'll never never never never need it
one headline why believe it?
everybody wants to run the world
all for freedom and for pleasure
nothing ever lasts forever
everybody wants to run the world
