A song is what the person who is listening to makes it.
We could ask a million people the interpretation of a song and we could get back thousands of different answers? why? because people see things differently. Just because you hear this song one way doesn't mean everyone else hears it the same way.

We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers 'cos we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows, and my curtain calls
You've bought 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 to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers 'cos we are the champions of the world
We are the champions, my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions

This is the entirity of the lyrics. If we are going to start bashing this song because it isn't Graciously Professional, we should look at it all not just part of it.

So lets see. This is just what I see in the lyrics but it is about someone / or a team that has waited and waited, being knocked off from winning but have finally won. They have put there time into everything from strategizing, building the robot, programming, and driver training.
Also could be shown in the first community as: how some teams are looked down on by there school (particularly other students who think they are nerds or geeks that no one likes.) Sometimes it i snice to come through and be a winning team in that school, especially if they don't have anything else to celebrate

We could mean the entire FIRST community, the community that the teams come from, and friends and family who have helped them to where they are.
The losers could be those that didn't think they (the team of FIRST) could succeed
If you keep breaking this down there are many things that this song can mean.
Honestly do you think that this song is bad to play???
Try to find a song that is better to be played for the Regional Winners... But i doubt that any song could compare to We Are The Champions for a FIRST Event.
