Tears For Fears and they had many musical successes

The curious thing is that this song was not considered to appear on the album at first; it was one of those experiments done almost unintentionally that ended up working.

A week or at most it took them to finish composing it instrumentally and fixing it, with a slight change in the final verse that was originally "everybody wants to go to war."

Broadly speaking, the song talks about the ambition for power and what it implied, but it had endless details in its lyric regarding environmental problems, the definition of success, freedom and pleasure, but above all war. The Cold War, more than anything.

But then it was the United States and Russia, and now the concern is more the United States and Korea," Curt Smith said in a 2017 interview. A timeless song, of course.

The chorus of the song emphasizes this point even more, saying that people want freedom and pleasure, but nothing will last forever. Ultimately, the song encourages us to be cautious with our own ambition and to be aware of the consequences of power.
