	This song appears to be about falsifying the world and ourselves, but that the truth will become known anyways.

No Picture marvin Lead Player	#2 by marvin at Oct 12, 2007 at 4:14 PM EST
	What this song means to me. We are here. So we should make the best of it. Everybody wants to rule the world means to me, that everybody has their own opinion. But what is it going to take for us to be able to listen to each other? Value each and every persons opinion without criticizing each other? There is no 'right' or 'wrong', but 'what works' and 'what doesn't work'. Oh... and listen to my band. SOL3 http://www.sealevelracing.com/sol3/sol3.html Thanks, Dave

No Picture Nick Average	#3 by Nick Vanderstelt at Oct 14, 2007 at 9:37 PM EST
	Hahah you're all arguing on an internet lyric site. I don't really know what this song is supposed to be about because...I didn't write it...but it reminds me of Berlin, Germany after the building of the Berlin Wall.

No Picture claireus Wanna Be	#4 by claireus s at Oct 17, 2007 at 10:47 PM EST
	I think this song is about every single one of us. We all have that part of us to want to make it to the top or in some how control the environment that we live in. I believe that this desire shows no prejudice, from the poorest with few belongings to the rich with the power that their mony gives them. It seems that we all want power and want to get ahead. From runnig to get ahead of next guy in a food line, to a country making "strategic" decisions inorder to take advantage of a lesser neighbor country. If given the chance I think we would all want to rule the world. I think this song is all about the darker part of humanity that is always trying to getting ahead of your fellow man. And for the record. I do not think that absolutlly every body is like this, just most of us. Great song

No Picture Zack Wanna Be	#5 by Zack Volm at Oct 20, 2007 at 3:10 PM EST
	lol, it was in promos for the west wing before it first aired, too.....more credibility taken away from the artist? :)

No Picture James Rhythm Player	#6 by James T.H. at Oct 21, 2007 at 8:29 PM EST
	its it sort of pathetic that a song is best know because it was in the ending of a movie? That seems to take all credibility away from the artist
