Empire of the Sun – We Are The People (That Rule The World)
We can remember swimming in December,
Heading for the city lights, in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than father
The scent of a lemon, drips from your eyes
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
We lived an adventure
Love in the Summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven
Got lost in your eyes
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)
Can you remember and humanize,
It was still where we’d energized,
Lie in the sand and visualize like its 75 again
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
Know everything about us
(repeat)
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)

“swimming in December”??
took me a bit to remmeber december is warm for you aussie folks.
ton of “props”.
same tone as
scary bastards
december is beach weather for sure🙂
the music was actually catchie. I liked the song, but thank god I know the words and what they mean. And ‘we are the people that rule the world’ that in and of itself – is f-cked up.
its always catchy and played and played..
is 1975 a significant year? is that the artists personal touch or what? idk
might be his birth year
No, his younger.

correct..
I don’t know if he was talking about his birth year but it sure sounded like the story of my first love and I in the summer of ’75 when I was 15 going on 16. Very strange, retro and spooky. Brought a tear to my eye. For people who did not even live then, they could certainly bring it back. BTW, the lyrics made sense to me in light of my first romance. We all think that way when we’re young and in love.
thanks renee..its a nice song..i just query a few things about them..
Im looking for that too. There’s something hidden… i born in december ’75 so you can imagine why i’m interested.
dudes,i wanted to find out the meaning of the song,NOT WATCH THE VIDEO.useless to me
Im sorry that you didn’t know yourself🙂
Line 4 of the lyrics… Nearer than father… “father” should be “farther”, as in further away, not your Dad … LOL
