Weezer - 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 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

  14. C.... S....

    Why does Kurt Smith look so old??

    C.... S....

    Chris Smith because he is lmao it’s what happens. The 80s were 30 years ago and they were probably in their 20s then and 50s now.

  15. m.... ....

    needed a montage of people playing in the house-popcorn

  16. R.... S....

  19. C.... B....

    I love that this happened

  20. H.... H....

    Tears for Fears has aged very well

  21. T.... E....

    Tears For Fears joined Weezer

  22. B.... ....

    That was pretty Epic 👏👏👏👌

  23. a.... ....

    So freaken awesome, and what's more Tears for Fears are the teachers.

  24. m.... ....

    lead singer battling cancer? me thinks yes. sad and good luck sir.

  25. s.... ....

    The last great decade of actual, real music. That last decade had music of every genre topping the charts- Scorpions, Van Halen, Whitney Houston, Tears for fears, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, the Stones, Bowie, U2, Judas Priest, Quiet Riot, Expose, Stacey Q, I know I missed a few, but wow!

  26. M.... M....

    Good to see these iconic bands still arnd..i miss the 80s

  27. P.... P....

    Curt with that harmony @2:06 *chef's kiss*

  28. E.... R....

    What a bloody classic!

  29. R.... R....

    Rivers is morphing into Ryan Adams

  30. A.... J....

    This is pretty lame.

  31. A.... H....

    The time not forget . El tiempo no perdona los años

  32. T.... E....

    Rivers is more talented than people know.

  33. 1.... ....

    Singer looks like a nerdy jim atkins

  34. D.... N....

    Roland & Curt sound amazing. Their voices haven’t aged at all.

  35. D.... N....

    Weezer has played their version of “Africa” with Steve Porcaro (Toto’s keyboardist), and now ”Everybody Wants To Rule The World” with Tears For Fears.

    Petition to get them to play all their covers with the original artists?

    D.... N....

    Gonna be tough with billy jean lol

    D.... N....

    im in...…...……..

    D.... N....

    They also did No Scrubs with Chilly from TLC at Coachella lol

  36. D.... R....

    eu gostaria muito de conhecer voces.

  37. L.... ....

    Weezer is becoming the band that reboots 80's songs

  38. C.... A....

    Curt Smith so different today when he was young.

  39. S.... G....

    Is it just Me or does Rivers have some Black Nail Polish on his Finger Nails?

  40. P.... M....

    This is awesome!

  41. P.... D....

    Damn. Roland has a smile on the entire time!!

  42. l.... d....

    I would love to see this at the Super Bowl.

  43. L.... L....

    Niiice!!!!

  44. B.... G....

    Weezer is terrible. this combo makes no sense. Their version of the song is lame.

  45. C.... D....

    Those vocal harmonies are freaking sweet

  46. L.... P....

    sounds like high school talent show

  47. A.... P....

    Tears For Fears Forever!
    Imensa saudade de uma época maravilhosa!!!

  48. J.... R....

    Talk about an iconic voice

  49. N.... N....

    Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World ( kinda ft. weezer sorta)

  50. T.... ....

    Tears4Fears has such a unique sound. Certainly an 80's feel, but also timeless. Their songs sound just as fresh and new today as they did 30 years ago.

  51. D.... R....

    This what the Chinese and North Korea government are thinking now

  52. R.... S....

    Now this is a legit cover.

  53. w.... s....

    This made me shiver a little

  54. E.... T....

    My favorite new wave song ever! 🇵🇭😍

  55. R.... L....

    This is still a banger decades later

  56. J.... D....

    Why not just have Tears for Fears play their song? Weezer really adds nothing to it.

  57. a.... c....

    Rivers is lip synching...sad

  58. M.... H....

    Originais e as Cópias Perfeitas! Isso é demais!

  59. S.... M....

    The coolness factor is way over the top here.

  60. S.... M....

    The coolness factor is way over the top here.

  61. G.... D....

    Professional musicians. Sounds as tight as anything

  62. M.... D....

    fuckin awesome, 5 out of 5

  63. �.... ....

    Roland Orzabal's playing a Strat Plus, I have one of the original prototypes of the strat plus, it's had 3 Lace Sensor pickups in it which Fender never even put into production, it was before they'd developed the active mid-boost (which is prettymuch a requirement for Lace Sensor Pickups), the body is natural finish, one piece of solid ash, it's got a Wilkenson Roller nut, Sperzel Trimlock (locking) tuning machines, I swapped the lace sensor pickups & white Pearloid pickguard out for a black pickguard with 3 pickups out of a 1968 Fender Stratocaster which I obtained in a trade along with a Fender _Rivera Era_ Concert Amplifier...

  64. D.... M....

    Pipsqueak vocals by Weezer. Nothing beats the original.

  65. M.... M....

    Kurt & Roland private joke 4:00

  66. W.... C....

    this is f*ckin fantastic. seriously.

  67. G.... O....

    👍for my favourite band : TFF!
    Roland is a genius.

  68. S.... M....

    I can't get over how good the guys from Tears for Fears look. Most of the musicians that i have seen from the 80s have not aged very well.

  69. z.... m....

    y is this better than the original

  70. e.... m....

    615 people are stupid

  71. M.... h....

    That wasn't bad. You know whats better?






    Blacks getting deported.

  72. S.... A....

    Who the heck is in the middle?

  73. T.... R....

    Wow!!!!! Class act right there!!!!!

  74. w.... ....

    Just spent a few minutes back in college.

  75. t.... ....

    1985.....I was 13 and all was right in the world. I love how music can just take you back to a place and time.

  76. t.... ....

    Just by nudging the hihat off the downbeat it gives the song this consistent pace

  77. P.... G....

    Weezer may not have such an original classic as this but their overall catalog blows tears for fears away by miles!!! And I'm 80s thru n thru negros

  78. j.... g....

    Awesome

  79. M.... B....

    Weezer nothing but a cover band.

  80. C.... H....

    Every time I hear this song it pushes me a little closer to heaven...

  81. J.... O....

    Fantástico!!!

  82. m.... ....

    Very cool

  83. I.... G....

    Trump's theme for 2020

  84. K.... J....

    Great song, of course; a classic, even.
    So what was the point of Weezer's note-for-note cover?

  85. S.... C....

    Roland is a genius!! Thank you

  86. B.... F....

    this is just fantastic! what incredible guitar tones...wow..wowie!

    B.... F....

    was there singing too?..holy jeez!

  87. S.... M....

    So this it repeats the 80s So SAD ... Millennials fail !!!!!!!

  88. F.... H....

    Didn't Rivers used to have tattoos on his arms?

  89. Y.... G....

    Tears for Queers

  90. B.... P....

    Great solo by Brian!

  91. T.... F....

    The only thing I wish this had was a bit more sense of pace and energy, but otherwise an enjoyable performance

  92. r.... ....

    I love how they made their logo
    Van Halenesque.

    r.... ....

    wonderwoman

  93. D.... S....

    Yay weezer

  94. T.... M....

    That was.......AWESOME!!!!

  95. M.... A....

    Excellent cover version

  96. 1.... ....

    2:25- 2:44 kings of leon.. ' pyro'

  97. m.... ....

    Weezer are the world's greatest college jam band

  98. C.... C....

    80's girl here! Great Memmmmories!!!

  99. s.... ....

    This is just plain FUN!!!

  100. A.... R....

    Rivers Cuomo will always be cool in my book. He has such a subtle way of strumming his guitars!
