who run the world?
mariephillipswriter Said:
According to Tears for Fears, everybody wants to run the world (‘Everybody Wants To Run The World’, 1986). Scrutiny of the lyrics, however, reveals that they are notably cagey on the subject of who actually does run the world. I can only conclude that it is Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal, ie Tears for Fears themselves, who run the world, only they would rather that we didn’t know. If this seems far-fetched, do bear in mind that it’s a very very mad world (‘Mad World’, Tears for Fears, 1982.)
