Everybody Wants To Rule The World -Tears For Fears 1985




R-536786-1156252403.jpeg.jpg

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you

Acting out your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to run the world

Help me make the most of freedom
And our 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 rule the...

Everybody wants to rule the world
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

Released 18 March 1985
Studio The Wool Hall (Beckington, Somerset, England)

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a song by English pop rock band Tears for Fears. It was written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley, and Chris Hughes and produced by Hughes. The song was first released on 18 March 1985 by Phonogram, Mercury, and Vertigo Records as the third single from the band's second album, Songs from the Big Chair (1985). "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a new wave song with lyrics that detail the desire humans have for control and power and centre on themes of corruption.

Music critics praised "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" in their retrospective reviews, with some including the song in their respective decade lists. It is regarded as the group's signature song, along with "Shout" (1984). It garnered success on charts internationally, peaking at number two in Ireland, Australia, and the United Kingdom and at number one in Canada, New Zealand, and on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified gold by both Music Canada (MC) and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

I always loved the limited edition 'Urban Mix' of this. I was blasting it in the car only a few days ago.

Head Over Heels/Broken(Live) is one (or two) of my favourite songs ever! The transition in the middle melts my brain.

Just bumped Songs From The Big Chair not too long ago. A fantastic album. To think that EWTRTW almost wasn't a single...

Those added 'horns' were pretty sharp

Not actually my vibe but...

Tears For Fears – Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Just A Gent Remix)

I wasn't sure about this at first but after getting through opening beats, it turns out it's quite an addictive little number, from, yes you guessed it, another up and coming artist from Australia. Damn fine.
