Queen’s “We Will Rock You/ We Are The Champions” LIVE 1981

The Athlete’s Anthem

No one could ever forget the way they feel when they listen to “We Will Rock You/ We Are the Champions” by the disgustingly talented Freddie Mercury and his band mates.

Children at young ages even to this day have heard this song at football, soccer, baseball and countless sport events without even knowing what it is and who was responsible for it. Which we know, is a shame but it is our duty to share Queen with future generations and the amazing things they could do.

Fun Fact: Guitarist Brian May claims that the idea for “We Will Rock You” came to him in a dream so the audience could participate in the show with the band.

As “We Are the Champions” came after as the encore to the initial intimidation in “We Will Rock You“, Freddie Mercury did a beautiful job of providing victorious closure for not just the band, but the fans.

+ We Will Rock You/ We Are the Champions Lyrics +

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo’ face
You big disgrace
Kickin’ your can all over the place
Singin’

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you’re a young man hard man
Shouting in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo’ face
You big disgrace
Wavin’ your banner all over the place

We will we will rock you
Sing it
We will we will rock you

Buddy you’re an old man poor man
Pleadin’ with your eyes gonna make
You some peace some day
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody betta put you back into your place

We will we will rock you
Sing it
We will we will rock you
Everybody
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Alright

I’ve paid my dues
Time after time.
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes ‒
I’ve made a few.
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through.

(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)

We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til 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 cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose.

(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)

We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the world.

We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions.
