"Who Wants the World?"
Song
B-side"The Meninblack (Waiting For 'Em)"

"Who Wants the World?" is an 1980 single by The Stranglers. The song, about alien visitation to Earth,[1] is regarded as a precursor to The Gospel According to the Meninblack album - which explored similar concepts in more depth. Like the band's previous single, "Bear Cage", it was a non-album track. "Who Wants the World?" peaked at No. 39 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
