I've paid my dues
 Time after time
 I've done my sentence
 [bad word] no crime
 And bad mistakes
 I've made a few
 I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
 But [bad word] through
 
 We are the champions - my friends
 And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
 We are the champions
 We are the champions
 No time for losers
 'Cause we are the champions - of the world

 I've taken my bows
 And my curtain calls
 You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
 I thank you all
 
But it's been no bed of roses
 No pleasure [bad word]  I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
 And I ain't gonna lose
 
We are the champions - my friends
 And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
 We are the champions - We are the champions No time for losers
 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
