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

“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” foi escrita por Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley e Chris Hughes, sendo produzida por este último para o álbum *Songs from the Big Chair* (1985).
O single foi lançado em 18 de março de 1985 pelas gravadoras Phonogram, Mercury e Vertigo, tornando‑se o terceiro lançamento do álbum.
A canção alcançou o primeiro lugar nas paradas da Billboard Hot 100 e da Cashbox nos EUA, além de liderar as listas no Canadá e na Nova Zelândia.
Em 1986 recebeu o Brit Award de Best Single, e naquele mesmo ano a banda gravou uma versão beneficente para a campanha Sport Aid.
O videoclipe ganhou forte apoio da MTV, impulsionando ainda mais seu sucesso internacional.
Uma das regravações mais notáveis foi feita pela cantora neozelandesa Lorde para a trilha sonora de *The Hunger Games: Catching Fire* (2013).
