I was a child, I was a dreamer
Hangin' around
Only waiting for something to arise
Someone to show me
I wasn't so goddamn alone
Until I got a message
That turned everything around
Outta the radio
Woah, ho, ho, ho
Out of the radio
Came this fantastic song
Every tiny hair on my arms
Stood straight up
Oh, when the music ruled the world
I've been around
The world a hundred times
In my mind
While I was dyin'
Alone in my room
Just a-waiting for
My future to show
Up in the ceilin'
While listenin' to the music
That the world has left behind
Stuck forever inside my mind
How I loved that beat
How I loved that melody
How I lived those lyrics
When the needle hit the vinyl
When the music ruled the world
When the music ruled the world
When the music ruled the world
When dinosaurs walked the earth
Oh, when the music ruled the world
When the music ruled the world
When the music ruled the world
When dinosaurs walked the earth
Come on
