| 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
|
| Ill be your champion
|
| Distinctly unhumble they said
|
| Thats 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 aint here no more
|
| Rose, rose, take me home
|
| Rose
|
| Lightning rose
|
| Carry me home
|
| Take me home
|
| Home home home

|
| There is no more order

|
| Not many russians left
|
| And there no more assholes
|
| Therell always be assholes
|
| Why couldnt we stop it then, what did we do so wrong
|
| And its 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
|
| Ill be the one
|
| Ill be the only one
|
| Unused lyrics on lyric sheet:
|
| 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 |
