Tears For Fears – Everybody Wants To Rule The World lyrics
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 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 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 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

    A few lines stand out from the lyrical dada running through the hypnotic music; "there's no turning back," indicates a moment of deep realization in the present that the future is what may be. That sends the guitars off on a lovely contrapuntal riff in conversation with the drums which one wants to hear again. "all for freedom and of pleasure nothing ever lasts forever," shows a distinct flavor in the mouth as a result of actions taken that must be acknowledged and swallowed. It's evident in downwardly harmonic chords, that even participating in the best of life is temporary. Rejoice.

    Deep message indeed! Trying to be poetic with your words on describing the lyrics, but that is what I basically got from the comment made. Good tune to what was being sung. Imyself get surrender to what is going around you and take things as they come. You are going to encounter some people who like to challenge the world around them, no matter what you do, so enjoy what you have in the now. Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future, today is a gift. That is why we call it the present.
