Land of the Long White Lie



Must pester Uncle Fester our national jester

Mr dome chrome time to buy another home?


Property cartels fed cahoots loots free to roam

Like we’re being led by the laughing gnome


Coalition behind demolition of OG ancestor

Don’t let it fester about every oversea investor


Cannot cotton on to what’s wrong.. polyester

Kiwis remember embers of being a protestor

 
They were told awhile before the war make sure

To stockpile fossil fuels.. because more is more

They wouldn’t listen Oil companies shares glisten


Billionaire backed..society cracked or is it fracked

Fast tracked as guess who gets whacked the Poor!


Luxon adoring every glutton pushes that button

Haughty and naughty lies flies in roaring forties

Ignoring us imploring see the nexus of the exodus

As its lambs to the slaughter on the isles of mutton
