No sign of greatness, no sacred mother Here comes the lowlife, this little ragged brother World keeps him down, world keeps him restless World lets him know he's not that precious But he'll find his place in mean machinery He'll dream away out of the scenery No civil rights, no final justice granted Go steal the show, you'll get busted Go speak your mind and you'll be left out in the cold Out of the limelight, you silly ba*tard! "So be a good boy now and join the club Your treasuredfreedom won't work out anyhow!" Everyone wants to rule the world Everyone wants the world in their hands Everyone wants to rule the high and low Father and son rise up to the call "This little boy is grounded" "This one is badly wired" "This one wants out badly now" "This one is sick and tired" The more you hold him down, the more you feed his anger The way he'll kick around to be the sole contender These armed walls, ten tons of steel and concrete Can't keep him silent, can't keep his lips from talking The armed gla** can't hide his ugly faces His rage will linger on out from the silent spaces Just like a bird will bleed and die upon a wire He's like the dragonfly that's drawn into the fire Everyone wants to rule the world Everyone wants the world in their hands Everyone wants to rule the high and low Father and son rise up to the call "Get your faces against the wall!!!"
