The Lord of the Land
Welcome to New Zealand is what she said
The nice girl at the immigration desk
Do you intend to stay here for some time?
I said I think I might, yeah and I was right
Looking back 9 years have gone since then
And I would do it all the same again
Met a girl, she's relaxed and cool we
Live in a scene from a Jackson movie
But these rose-coloured glasses have a stain
In the corner of the frame
Lives a man with a clipboard and a frown
His sole mission to screw you
And no matter what you do you're going down
The Lord of the Land
Has my money in his hands
And I'm doing the best I can
To keep up with your rent raising
But I'm sure it isn't right
To want more money every time
The open market says you can
This is getting crazy
The manager was smiling in that ad
And all please and thank yous when we met
But the second she handed us the keys
Slipped the ring on her finger and disappeared
Out of sight and well out of mind
Just like a thief into the night
And I've never seen her since that day
I've never seen a penguin in Scorching Bay
And I don't mind doing DIY
But I'll sure be damned if I
Am gonna help you out for free
I've seen the measures you will take
To keep from talking to me
The Lord of the Land
Claims expense he never had
God forbid he'd pay some tax
Or spend a cent on upkeep
Cause the holes in the roof
Have all been leaking in my room
I wake up wondering if I have
Wet myself in my sleep
I had so many inspections before
But this time I know I'm out of here for sure
The bastard points his finger to the door
I'll keep the bond because you chipped the glass
No matter what you do,
YOU SHALL NOT PASS
The Lord of the Land
Your advisors say expand
Your portfolio, you can
Live off capital gain
While I'm fighting every week
To give my family what they need
Meantime feeding your greed
I think you're getting lazy
I'll win the lotto some day
The nice girl at the immigration desk
Do you intend to stay here for some time?
I said I think I might, yeah and I was right
Looking back 9 years have gone since then
And I would do it all the same again
