Originally it was called Everybody Wants to Go to War.
It really doesn't have the same ring.
It just doesn't, yeah.
Confessions time.
It just, it just, it was like, okay, you know, we couldn't really sing it.
But what was great was when we were doing Big Chair, Chris Hughes, the producer,
at the end of each session would get us to play that song.
And we played it so often that we began to wear it.
And eventually the lyrics changed to Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
And it was like, oh, okay.
It was also our move away from, you know, introspective lyrics into looking at things globally.
And the slight shift [F#] in perspective towards politics, which came out much more in Seize the Love.

[F#m] Everybody [G] wants [A] to [G] rule the world.
There's a room where the [Dm] light won't [A] find [G] you.
