WIRE
- Champs Lyrics / with translationsThe race of champions, the pace the pace
The speed the need, the need to seed
The chance to die
Another dead don't cry, another dead don't cry
You've still got speed, you'll maybe bleed
But that's next time
Less time than before, more speed than before
You're rich not poor, what are you doing it for?
Want more want more
Another dead don't cry, another dead don't cry
Indeed it's speed, to feed from speed
Doing it all the time
The speed the need, the need to seed
The chance to die
Another dead don't cry, another dead don't cry
You've still got speed, you'll maybe bleed
But that's next time
Less time than before, more speed than before
Want more want more
Another dead don't cry, another dead don't cry
Indeed it's speed, to feed from speed
Doing it all the time

When we look deeper into its meaning, the song 'Champs' from Wire explores how people in competitive situations will do anything to achieve victory and fast results through its racing metaphor which shows how ambition leads to destruction and makes people ignore their obligations to others through the 'another dead, don't cry' line which shows how individuals lose their value during the pursuit of achievement. The Champs lyrics show multiple musical elements which include despair and angst but they also include reflection and social commentary and empowerment. The song conveys competitive drive as its main theme while it shows the dangers and risks which come from uncontrolled ambition and speed-based addictions. The lyrics contain themes of death, violence, and a sense of urgency that may be disturbing for younger audiences.
