'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 fortune
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
