Tears for Fears finally hit the big time with this number one song “Everybody wants to Rule the World” in 1985. The original title was “Everybody wants to go to War” but thank goodness they changed it! The mood and feeling of the song just wouldn’t have gone well with that title. The music video was also a perfect compliment to the song. I immediately think of the summer of 1985 when I hear this song which always makes me feel good.
Welcome to your life
Theres 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
Its my own design
Its 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
Theres a room where the light wont find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do Ill be right behind you
So glad weve almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I cant stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that youll 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
Paisano,
Man, this song is inspiring me to grow a mullet. Or Flowbee my ‘do. One or the other, fo’ sho.
