[Intro: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Face carved into stone
We all wanna rule the world
But can't do it alone

[Verse 1: Tom Parker, Siva Kaneswaran]
Someday
When you get older
You're gonna see the world
Far away
From where you grow up
You'll find yourself for sure

[Pre-Chorus: Nathan Sykes]
When you reach the stars, reach the stars
Don't you ever change who you are
And together we came this far
So far

[Chorus: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Face carved into stone
We all wanna rule the world
But can't do it alone
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh-ooh
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker]
People
They'll try to tell you
Who you're supposed to be
They
Only see the outline
But not the in-between

[Pre-Chorus: Nathan Sykes, Max George]
When you reach the stars, reach the stars (Ooh-ooh)
Don't you ever change who you are (Ooh-ooh)
And together we came this far (We came this far) (Ooh-ooh)
So far

[Chorus: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Face carved into stone
We all wanna rule the world
But can't do it alone

[Post-Chorus: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh-ooh
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh-ooh
[Outro: Siva Kaneswaran, Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh-ooh
We all wanna rule the world
