713 - Can't fly the nest

The Olympics has invaded my mind
Like a strong drink or weed inhalation
I want and need to but can’t turn aside
I’ve seen too much golden information
It’s much more open now to all nations
Now drug cheats from the eastern bloc have gone
Remember the Russians and East Germans
No longer on the medal podium
Now talent allied to dedication
Can be enough. If your country’s behind
You with funding, then that celebration
Can be yours, can be ours as we look on
As I do now, as the athletes unwind
Around the bend of Bird’s Nest Stadium
