Champion

Jefferson Starship

Unused lyrics from lyric sheets:

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 d
