[Verse 1]
Reaching for my crossbow
I patiently take aim
I've got you in the crosshair
Never gonna hurt me or anybody else again

[Chorus 1]
Yes, you rule the world for now
You do
Yes, you rule the world for now
Yes, you rule the world
You and all your money
Yes, you rule the world for now

[Chorus 2]
I'm starting with you
And then I'll tear the room
To pieces, to pieces
I'm starting with you
Then I'll tear the room to pieces
To pieces, to pieces

[Verse 2]
Prowling through the city
I need someone to blame
Tomorrow's headline news
You'll all know my name
[Chorus 1]
Yes, you rule the world for now
You do
Yes, you rule the world for now
Yes, you rule the world
You and all your money
Yes, you rule the world for now

[Chorus 2]
I'm starting with you
And then I'll tear the room
To pieces, to pieces
I'm starting with you
Then I'll tear the room
To pieces, to pieces

[Bridge]
I'll put away my crossbow
So empty all your guns
Maybe there's another way
To get things done

[Chorus 3]
Yes, they rule the world for now
They do
Yes, they rule the world for now
But we can take the air
They can keep their money
Yes, we rule the world for now
If we choose to
[Chorus 4]
I'm starting with you
And then we'll find a place
Where peace is, where peace is
I'm starting with you
And then I'll build a place
Where peace is, where peace is
I'll find a place where peace is
