Everybody Wants to Run the World by Tears for Fears Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to run the world

[Bridge]
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
[Interlude]

[Refrain]
Everybody wants to run the world

[Interlude]

[Refrain]
Everybody wants to run the...

[Verse 3]
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
One headline - why believe it?
Everybody wants to run the world

[Verse 4]
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to run the world
