Geoff Berner Official Theme Song for the 2010 Vancouver / Whistler Olympic Games (The Dead Children Were Worth It!) Lyrics

British Columbia is super proud
To sing this welcome song,
For these wonderful Winter Olympic Games
We've awaited for so long.

All you terrific foreign visitors--
We're so glad that you're here,
For our 8 billion dollar 2 week party
That we're putting on this year.

Of course the credit goes to the government;
When they approved the 8 billion bucks,
They cost cut out the office that
investigates childrens' deaths.

The dead, dead children were worth it
The dead, dead children were worth it
The dead, dead children were worth it
The Vancouver Whistler Olympic Games

In a suburban warehouse somewhere sits
All seven hundred files,
And frankly we still have no idea
How any of them died,

So let's sing a song of welcoming,
But first give thanks and shout Hooray!
For those sad little lifeless bodies
Who got us here today:

The dead, dead children were worth it
The dead, dead children were worth it
The dead, dead children were worth it
The Vancouver Whistler Olympic Games

We're having such a lovely time,
We've forgotten all their names.
But the weather's getting warmer
As we play our little games,

And as we sing our anthem one more time,
Perhaps the cameras will show
The little babies' corpses
Rising up from the melting snow.

The dead, dead children were worth it
The dead, dead children were worth it
The dead, dead children were worth it
The Vancouver Whistler Olympic Games
