Lorde - 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 behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own desire
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 we had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world

    @priaman K original song has 35 years and literally everybody knows it but okay

    U.... e....

    @Ultreia et suseia exactly like who are they gonna remember in 30 years Michael Jackson or Prince? Michael. What version will forever be legendary in 30 years? The 80s version of this song. This version is trash

  34. D.... A....

    Top comment: I wonder how many people know it's a cover?
    Entire comment section: Wow, what a good cover of a good song!

  35. A.... S....

    I dont.

  36. N.... H....

    #save_the_iraqi_people

  37. J.... _....

    Song makes me wanna start a revolution for No reason

    J.... _....

    Me too, it just won't happen in this era, at least like in an era like Assassin's Creed because there isn't any advanced technology like weapons

  38. M.... p....

    No one:
    Humanity likely this year: everything in this song

  39. R.... W....

    Sounds as weird as she looks! Go lorde

  40. M.... s....

    Personally I like the original version better but this version is great as it gives more of a dark sci-fi vibe that
    1) sounds bad ass
    2) matches the lyrics

    Tho tbh most of the emotion comes from the instrumentals and there's less in her voice but the more I listened I realized it actually make it more deeper because they're so focused on ruling the world that everything else is dead to them and/or they're dead inside

  41. J.... P....

    the trailer for assassin's creed unity trailer brought me here. BTW, I played the game on PS4, however I didn't have internet when I did. Therefore, I saw a lot of glitches and whatnot. If I was to play it today though, pretty sure the majority of them would be fixed.

  42. C.... M....

    Randi is great

  43. S.... o....

    Tears for Fears cover.

  44. D.... C....

    Lol u ruined the song

  45. N.... M....

    Lmao these comments are a bunch of children arguing about if you know the song is a cover or not-

  46. T.... 1....

    Heard this shit in a Tom Brady GOAT video and came to check it out. Pretty sure I’m the only one.

  47. P.... D....

    This edgelord ruined it 👺

  48. t.... ....

    This song was made for ac unity

  49. Z.... M....

    Don’t hate, this is just my opinion but after Tears for Fears’ original master class this just ruins it.

    Z.... M....

    I ain't gonna hate Zayd Mulla, still I kinda like this version.

    Z.... M....

    Jacob Prindler each to his own

    Z.... M....

    Thnx, peace bruh! :)

  50. E.... B....

    Wow that's a terrible rendition.

  51. L.... S....

    This is a 2014 song and i just now hear it everywhere

  52. C.... ....

    Ya'll are talking about wherever you found it but wHAT ABOut HUNGEr GAMeS

    C.... ....

    THIS was on Hunger Games. TBC, I never watched any of the movies. I don't know why, just decided not to.

  53. G.... M....

    Nobody:
    The uploader: ExTenDed VeRSiOn mEanS plAyInG tHE SamE sOnG twIce!

  54. M.... L....

    lorde sucks

    M.... L....

    I like this song...just this song as I haven't heard any others. Still...you can just say something like: "this not my thing."

  55. K.... F....

    oppression has to end...

  56. J.... C....

    Crap. Sang in a stupid tone of voice. The Tears for fears version wins hands down.

    I mean her voice is woeful and needs enhancements.

    J.... C....

    J C fuck off

  57. A.... A....

    This is much better than the original by Tears for Fears. I wish she made a music video

  58. D.... A....

    This is my favorite example of a terrible cover. Lorde misses the point, makes the tone of song completely dark so even a surface level dumbass who doesn't actually care about lyrics can interpret the emotion they should feel with extreme ease. It's also incredibly overdramatic, she's trying *far* too hard.

    D.... A....

    This is better than original

  59. j.... ....

    God damn, she's terrible.

    j.... ....

    jackslater230011 fuck off then

  60. x.... ....

    This isn't bad but come on you can't beat the original

  61. T.... O....

    When the conversation is brought up of what cover song stands against the test of time ~ equivalent or better than it's original, I think of this song!!

  62. E.... ....

    Who comes from assasins Creed unity? İN 2020

  63. L.... F....

    1:41 thank me later

  64. �.... ....

    This song is actually perfect with show the 100

  65. T.... ....

    Who else can from assassins creed unity

  66. �.... �....

    I remember this track from assasins creed trailer

  67. J.... C....

    Worsening the song

  68. G.... G....

    I’m here from the AC Unity trailer

  69. m.... ....

    Evewybody wants to wule the wowld

    Everybody wants to rule the world
    There's a room where the light won't find you
    Holding hands while the world's come tumble down
    When they do I'll be right behind you
    So glad we've almost made it
    So sad we had to fade it
    Everybody wants to rule the-
    Everybody wants to rule the-

  76. C.... ....

    HOLY CRAP, THIS COVER IS BY LORDE?!?!???

  89. F.... A....

    Lorde, Unreal version of that song. I'm a musician for many years with a family of musicians including our legend drummers in this family.
    You did a great version of the song. Absolutely great. Looking foward to more. Your drummer on that song was great. I really liked the patients of that beat.

  90. G.... S....

    a great remake, i like the atmosphere. but i don't like her pronunciation of the title. is she drunk? 😉

  91. M.... L....

    We say perfection doesn't exist. Well, this song is dark, perfection & bliss💋💙

  92. g.... C....

    Trop d egos dirigent ce monde, trop de bruit de bottes d armées prêtes à en découdre pendant que la planète brûle et que des populations meurent de faim, que les peuples manifestent contre la misère...une surenchère de provocations d'egos partisans et méprisables...

  93. A.... A....

    This is from tears for fears, in my opinion I like the original better but good job it's super good:)

  94. C.... P....

    SHE’S AMAZING. LOVE YA HONEY
