Rule the World With Love - Barenaked Ladies

It couldn’t happen to a better man

It wouldn’t happen with a better plan

While we were napping someone else began

To rule the world with love

It didn’t happen to us overnight

Just cause it happened doesn’t mean it’s right

To our embarrassment we lost the fight

To rule the world with love

Hearts are won, empires fall

In love with love

Love will conquer all for one

One for all is fair in love and war

Love and war are one

It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy

You shouldn’t ever have to question why

With just the power of suggestion I

Could rule the world with love

I need to love you with an iron fist

I need to love you with a secret list

I need to love you 'til you don’t exist

And rule the world with love

Love

Love

Love as defined by who?

How could it happen when we couldn’t lose?

And now we’re slapping makeup on the bruise

Though it was handed to us, we refused

To rule the world with love

Love

Love

Love as defined by God
