Jefferson Starship - Champion lyrics
[Jefferson Starship - Champion lyrics]
And suddenly all and everything we know
Had burst into flames erupted in fire
In the heat of the river
In the heat of the morning sun i saw Rose
Out on the river staring down the city guns
She said i am the one
I am the champion protector
Leader defender
Optimum champion she said
I am the one i am the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I'll be your champion
Distinctly unhumble they said
That's what they called her then
But everything she touched
Seemed to turn out like magic then
And the walls the walls of the city
They fell down like magic then and the walls
The walls of my heart
They fell apart like magic then
She was the one she was the number one
In this age of madness this age of the gun
Rose was the champion
Hot war who could ask for more
Six minutes on a cold winter morning
Cold war ain't here no more
Rose, Rose, take me home rose
Lightning Rose carry me home
Take me home home home home
Nanananananananana nanananananananana
There is no more order
Nanananananananana (continues in the background until)
And there is no more Yale
There is no more New York
No more Central Park no more Walter Cronkite
Duran Duran
No more Bruce Springsteen (he bought it)
No more Ray Charles or MTV
Or RCA Victor and Yale is a sheet of
Radio-active glass thirty miles across
No more Jodie Foster
And there is no more California
No more Moscow, or Mecca, no Tel Aviv
Or Riyadh or Peking or Cuba no London
No Washington DC kansas is left
They didn't touch Cleveland!
And there are no more bombs
They used them all! Not many Russians left
And there no more assholes
There'll always be assholes
Why couldn't we stop it then
What did we do so wrong
And it's such a bloody drag to have
To rebuild civilization all over again
Nananananana nananana nananananana nananana
There is no more order but there is Rose
And Rose is your heart and Rose is love
And Rose is spirit and Faith and light
Rose is Friday night and we all have Rose
If we start right now
And if we sing long enough
And if we sing loudly enough
And if we sing strong enough
We can make a difference
We can make a difference
Yeah yeah yeah, she said i'll be the one
I'll be the only one
Let there be light on this planet
And let it shine through me
Let there be travellers who venture
Far from the beaten path
And let one of them be me
Had burst into flames erupted in fire
In the heat of the river
In the heat of the morning sun i saw Rose
Out on the river staring down the city guns
She said i am the one
I am the champion protector
Leader defender
Optimum champion she said
I am the one i am the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I'll be your champion
Distinctly unhumble they said
That's what they called her then
But everything she touched
Seemed to turn out like magic then
And the walls the walls of the city
They fell down like magic then and the walls
The walls of my heart
They fell apart like magic then
She was the one she was the number one
In this age of madness this age of the gun

Hot war who could ask for more
Six minutes on a cold winter morning
Cold war ain't here no more
Rose, Rose, take me home rose
Lightning Rose carry me home
Take me home home home home
