Rule the World (Abbey Road Version) - Take That

We've got a choice, but still we'd rather choose to suffer 'Cause there's no escape once the fuse is lit, locked in this pantheon Swimming with concrete shoes, the reaper comes to take the best of you Can you see the writing on the wall? Impermanence Impermanence Impermanence There is a subtle space that we'll all discover 'Cause there is a seat reserved for the spirit, passing through one by one Riding a torpedo, we wash away into the overflow Can you see the writing on the wall? We're barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again and again Again and again and again Do you really wanna live forever? Oh We are so lost staring into all the colour It hurts, but reality is counterfeit, we came from the beyond Living a cameo, one final breath and then we split in two Can you see the writing on the wall? We're barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again and again Even the doomed refuse We were born to lose Do you really wanna live forever? 'Cause those afraid to die will never truly live They'll never truly live Even the doomed refuse We were born to lose Do you really wanna live forever? We're barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again We are barricaded 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker The seeds are sewn, then we die alone, we die alone Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony That fights against impermanence again and again and again and again and again

Burn the altar built by the dollar sign, those waters are shallow That's why the kids all say, "Get the fuck out of our way" 'Cause we're picking up the slack, taking power back Yeah, they made a bed out of our bones, said it's all just overblown It doesn't matter if you're friend or if you're foe Do you really think you wanna be saved? I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow Everything is fucking fine We can dance, we can all sing along We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow I wanna sing you a different song, onе that's easier to swallow We all say that we wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow There are vultures preaching the party line, those goldmines are hallowed And if we look away, then we'll all have hell to pay So we cover up the tracks, there's no going back Yeah, I know that Rome was overthrown, but it wasn't done alone And you would think that we were better off below Were you hoping that the dead could be raised? I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow Everything is fucking fine We can dance, we can all sing along We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's easier to swallow I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow We all say that we wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow If we miss the deadline We can always blame the Divine Gripping knives and praising lowlives Nobody could say with a straight face they didn't have it coming They fucking had it coming They fucking had it coming I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow We can dance, we can all sing along We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow We all say that we wanna be saved If we miss the deadline We can always blame the Divine Gripping knives and praising lowlives Nobody could say with a straight face they didn't have it coming

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made He finds a street light, and he steps out of the shade Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?" Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack" He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey la my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that Anyway, what you gonna do about it?" Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded in my heart And I forget, I forget the movie song When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet Come up on different streets and both were streets of shame Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same Then I dream your dream for you, now your dream is real How can you look at me as if I were just another one of your deals? You can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah You know, I used to have a scene with him" Juliet, when we made love you used to cry I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die" And there's a place for us, you know the movie song When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you I can't do anything except be in love with you And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be And all I do is keep the beat, the bad company And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme Juliet, I'd do the stars with you anytime Juliet, when we made love you used to cry I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die" And there's a place for us, you know the movie song When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet And a lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made He finds a convenient street light and steps out of the shade And says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
