Vs 1

At night as you look to the west youÕll notice that the sun sets with a sigh.

As it travels oÕer the earth itÕs sometimes glad the cloud obscures its sight.

It sees how many people, try to make ends meet,

And that all for one and one for all is nothing but a load of bull,

So many people say him, ÒI wanna rule the world all for one, all the world.Ó

 

Vs 2

The train of progress pushes on through the stations one by one.

Ear marked for profit, ooh the mighty dollar sings its song.

Some people donÕt know what theyÕve got, until itÕs gone,

And then itÕs often too late to turn the odds around.

WeÕve gotta stop this train, itÕs headinÕ for a crash and kill us all.

 

Vs 3

Too much too soon, you know thatÕs what they always said was wrong.

You can cover it with gold, and glitter, and anything you want.

But everything will come back, to where it all began,

The children will all pay our debts it seems we always have.

As long as weÕre okay today weÕll think about tomorrow when it comes.

 

So many people say him, ÒI wanna rule the world all for one.Ó

WeÕve gotta stop this train, itÕs headinÕ for a crash and kill us all.
