Get The Gold

 **I'm posting this because I was listening to an old Alanis cd and this song (which has always made me cry when I hear it) immediately made me think of the Olympic/sports players and the death of luger  
RIP and I hope that the Canadian Olympic Committee or the IOC is held accountable and is fined.** 

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up?
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up?
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you, I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him, compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I've blown
What's the problem?
Why are you crying?

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
Iif you're perfect

- Alanis Morissette, "Perfect"
