Not Such A Wonderful Thing

In their joy in gold why should I wish to share Or what Country wins the most gold medals can't say I much care It is all about winning that and nothing more And it is all about ego we've heard that before The Beijing Olympics are all about show In the games where the big egos bigger do grow In a World where children for food are pleading and crying And where millions of people of hunger are dying The Olympic Games of money seems such a waste If what I say seems sour grapes then excuse my sense of taste In a World of millions of Stateless refugees Who are destined to die of hunger and disease The Olympic Games not such a wonderful thing And it's praises as such do not ask me to sing.
