[Skit: National Party Election Campaign Ad]
There was a time when New Zealand cities were quiet and clean
People said they were nice places to bring up children
But the cities grew alarmingly, people poured in
Not just from the country, but from other countries as well
62,000 in just two years
Then one day, there weren’t enough jobs either
The people became angry, and violence broke out
Especially among those who had come from other places expecting great things

[Intro: David Lange, Rob Muldoon, Phil Goff, Jim Bolger, Don Brash, John Key, Jenny Shipley & Helen Clark]
It’s that some governments, such as New Zealand, have forgotten for whom they have a responsibility
And they owe nothing to huge projects
They owe a lot to little people
And they have turned their face on striving people

If you don’t want it that way, go the other way

Where prices are allowed to soar while wages are screwed down

It’s not a case of saying inflation is more important than employment

More jobs and higher pay

The countries which have been most successful in getting inflation under control
Have been those with central banks which are somewhat independent of direct political influence
Is it real money to you?
Yes it is actually, I think so, yes

Create the gap between work and welfare


There is a growing gap between rich and poor in this country

Well I'm making enough to be comfortable
He said he would rather have sex with a lobster than meet me
The good news is that I was having dinner with Ngāti Porou as opposed to their neighbouring iwi which is Tūhoe, in which case I would’ve been dinner

[Verse 1: Tom Scott]
Cause this ain't no fucking joke, we fucking broke
Far from cutting coke, all we got is luck and hope
Dreams going up in smoke, one day, some way
Yeah that’s what we used to say
Now we blackout sniffing white, so the future’s grey
The youth that we threw away ain't never coming back
Our criminal record haunting us forever like a tab
Where I come from minimum wage is what we run on
No wonder why we’re spending our pay
Getting drunk on some cheap shit
Standing in line for some free shit
To eat we’re resorting to crime for some Weetbix
The same old story that you heard a million times before
I bet it probably doesn’t even cross your mind no more
Fucking Prime Minister ain't even got the time to talk
Cutting off the dole, trying to justify why we’re poor
Acting like we’re happy working underneath your iron claw
Where you don’t even need to give a reason we’re being fired for
Trying to fight the law is like trying to fight a fireball
Ask my old man - they locked him up just for trying to score
Fuck working in the factory until you're 94
'Course we resort to crime, but all you get from crime is court
And that’s a fucked up system
Where justice is just some juxtaposition
Between the police and the judge’s decision
And even if we scream, who the fuck is going to listen to us?
[Bridge: Tom Scott]
What they know about missing the bus?
Yeah, it’s just another prisoners dust
They keep the bread and they give us the crust
Cause the system is sus
There ain't no politician to trust who’s going to listen to us

[Interlude: Interviewer & John WheKey]
Re yo for or against the Springbok tour?
Oh I can’t even remember. 1981? I don’t really know

[Verse 2: Tourettes]
John Key can suck my dick, hiding in his mansion
While half the population flies across the Tasman
The other half try to act like it's not happening
Thinking that they’re rich with their hire purchase plasmas
Asking what’s the matter? There’s no depression in New Zealand
Yeah just a soul sinking feeling
Had you staring at the All Blacks cheering
Distracting you from the oil spills and poor tax
Dignity? Can’t afford that on minimum wage
Shit is insane when rent is half of my pay
Nobody’s laughing these days, though the economy’s a joke
Except for bourgeois arseholes, you know how that goes
Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor
Want us to live in shit, keep us struggling and bored
If you waited and thought for one second, that we deserve better
There ain't enough pigs to protect them
Keep brands expensive and the wages low
Get them losers at WINZ out digging some holes
Saying "work will set you free, yeah it’s good for the soul"
I mean "kill the poor", while they come and ask for your vote
Cut the funding for arts and the national parks
Blame every problem on solo mothers and dole bludgers
The working class is a gang getting fisted
Until we say different ain't no one going to listen to us
Minimum wage just isn’t enough
Tax cuts don’t make a difference to us
Act like we’re poor, only know prison and drugs
Getting high is the only way we’re living it up

[Outro: Matt Crawley]
I been thinking about who’s doing the talking
All I've been reading, about how we’re sinking
I’ve been drinking about how we’re doing
All that we’re missing
And how nobody's listening to us
I been thinking about who’s doing the talking
All I've been reading, about how we’re sinking
I’ve been drinking about how we’re doing
All that we’re missing
And how nobody's listening to us
How nobody's listening to us
Nobody's listening to us

[Skit: John Key, Interviewer, Unknown & Rob Muldoon]
Well I don’t own a vineyard
And you’re a vineyard owner yourself aren’t you?
I am
I don’t know whether I own any assets or not
You promise you will always be honest?

[??Yeah?said he could and he would
Then later he said he couldn’t and he wouldn’t
And later still he said he couldn’t because he wouldn’t
[Key hopping with the hoppers
If anyone is offended, then I deeply apologise

[Protestor]
Think you’re going to go in there mate?

[Key]
Have you got a conflict of interest here? no
See you, thanks very much

[Muldoon]
They’ll vote accordingly
If they want that other bloke to lead a government, they’ll vote for him
That’s it
Right?
Okay
Thanks Prime Minister
