Champion Lyrics - Nuclear Furniture - 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 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
