Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The winner takes all
It's the thrill of one more kill,
The last one to fall
Will never sacrifice their will.

Don't ever look back, on the world closing in
Be on the attack
For the will of the win
Oh the games will begin

And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.
And it's ours for the taking.
It's ours for the fight.
And's it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.
And the one who's last to fall.
The winner takes all

You don't win no silver,
Oh, you only lose the gold
You push with a fever
For your time keeps tolling on.

Against all the odds, against all your pain,
Your backs on the wall
With no one to blame.
Wild hearts won't be tamed

And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory yeah,
It's ours for the taking,
Its ours for the fight
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory yeah,
And the one who's last to fall

Sweet, sweet, sweet victory yeah,
It's ours for the taking,
It's ours for the fight,




Yeah, it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah,
And the one who's last to fall
