Choose Me For Champion Lyrics - Rasputina

Choose me to be your champion 

I am possessing of a very righteous style 

I understand what's happening 

I have charisma and of course a winning smile 

I stand accused of being an audacious redeemer 

Not a charge I can deny 

I have refused the way of the liar and the schemer 

And I'm not afraid to die 

Oh hark back to the mighty shipwreck 

How ancestors of islanders are we 

How the ship sank like a sinking thinktank 

Our memories are gone and sunk at sea 

We have allowed ourselves to be insulted by invaders 

For the longest of years 

I will employ all of my cunning and my patience 

Then we will persevere 

I find I can get behind heretical ideas and make them real 

You do what you want to do 

I cannot tell you how to feel 

But if the grievous deeds of the Floridian forces have not opened up your eyes 

I will get down on my knees and the Pitcairnan Women's Chorus 

Will shout up to the skies 

Spoken: There's only 24 of us here on this island in the sea 

And we know Queen Mary Todd has sent her army 

And I can be the hero that you need me to be 

Oh my visionary people, you don't need powerful binoculars to see 

That we're descendants of the Bounty Mutineers 

And I can liquidate your fears 

And Pitcairn Island will be free 

(Free in the air) 

You don't want those blimps coming here 

(Free in the sea) 

A colonial offshoot - is that what you want us to be? 

(Freedom is fine) 

The responsibility of saving all our lives on Pitcairn Island should be mine! 

Spoken: Consider Thursday October Christian. 

He's a great rebel and I am exaggerating only very slightly. 

He wore no clothes but a piece of cloth about his loins. 

Heroism is no more than a chapter in a tale of submission. 

"The walls of opression and humiliation cannot be demolished 

Except in a rain of boomerangs," Christian said Monday 

In response to Tuesday's balloon massacres.
