When I rule the world
I'll tell you all to love
I'll tell you all that you'll be fine
So never give up
When I rule the world
The air will be clean
And you can go and be someone
That I want you to be
When I rule the world
We'll only just be getting by
So we'll authorise the deep-sea drills
But just this one time
When I rule the world
There'll be dissent on all sides
So I guess we can go to war
But just to protect what's right
When I rule the world
You'll prob'ly have a coup
You prob'ly won't wanna do
What I want you to do
And I'm telling you now
Your thoughts can prevail
In your letters from jail
When I rule the world
I'll find out the truth
That maybe it's harder than
We thought in our youth
When I rule the world
We'll put our differences aside
And everyone dies
