“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is a song by the British New Wave band Tears for Fears. It was originally written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley and Chris Hughes, being the band’s ninth single release.

In the United States, the song is the lead single from their album the Songs from the Big Chair and it made in the number 1 spot at Billboard Hot 100 on June 8, 1985 for two weeks, making their first ever hit on that chart.

Hughes has done extended, instrumental and “urban ...

Bizarre Love Triangle Every time i think of you I feel a shot right through with a bolt of blue It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find Living a life that I can't leave behind There's no sense in telling me The wisdom of a fool won't set you free But that's the way that it goes And it's what nobody knows While every day my confusion grows I feel fine and I feel good I'm feeling like I never should Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday I'm not sure what this could mean I don't think you're what you seem I do admit to myself That if I hurt someone else Then I...
