In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Chorus
They gave you life
And in return you gave them Hell
As cold as I ice
I hope we live to tell the tale.
Chorus
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love you break your heart
Chorus
Chorus
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn
By our mistakes.
This day and age
For all and not for one
All lies and secrets
Put on and on and on
Chorus
And fear is such a vicious thing
It wraps me up in such chains
Find out
Find out what this fear is about
(x2)
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.
It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not to listen
Now your house is on fire.
Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen.
My features form with a change in the weather.
Some of us are horrified
Others never talk about it
But when the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're in trouble
Following the footsteps of a soldier girl
It's time to put your clothes on
And to face the world.
Don't you feel your luck is changing
When everything starts to happen
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drums is the fear of the dark.
My features form with a change in the weather.
I believe that if you thought for a moment,
Took your time
You would not resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars,
That's fine.
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if you're bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe.
I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness
In the nighttime in the storm
In the casino
Casino Spanish eyes
I believe, no I can't believe that everytime
You hear a newborn scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life.
In my mind's eye
One little boy anger one little man
Funny how time flies.
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
Something happens and I'm head over heels.
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
And it's my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover.
Pilgrim Father sailed away
Found a brave new world
