Hey y’all…happy Sunday!😷
New to SUNDAY’S SONG? I’ve always felt like music (& reading) is my escape, I find comfort in the melody, the words and more importantly, a song is like a mini story. I mean, great songs tell a story, have meaning or a message. I’ve always wanted to find a way to incorporate some of my favorite songs into my blog…so, SUNDAY’S SONG was born!🎶
*Check out the lyrics highlighted in RED, they’re my favorite part!
*WARNING: I’m a child of the 80’s, grew up in the 90’s, a hippy wanna be, born in Texas (and therefore MUST enjoy some country) and I have kids so I do like some contemporary music too. In other words, I love all kinds of songs!😊
Everybody Wants to Rule the World
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, 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
DID YOU KNOW?
The song’s lyrics detail the desire humans have for control and power.[18][19] In 2017, Tal Rosenberg of Pitchfork stated that its lyrics could be applied in different scenarios such as the environment (“Turn your back on mother nature”), short-lived financial success (“Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure/Nothing ever lasts forever”), dictatorial rule (“Even while we sleep/We will find you”), and the Cold War (“Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down”).
