Renters -

I been thinking, how we gonna make ends meet?

I got nothing coming in this week

I been looking, but I haven’t found nothing yet

How we ever gonna pay the rent?

And I wanna live in it

In the town where I grew up

On this land that I love

On this land that I love

On this land that I love

We been spending all our money on these shitty flats

We ain’t ever gonna get it back

I know people that are marching on the streets for this

I don’t blame them, it’s a bloody mess

'Cause they wanna live in it

In the town where I grew up

On this land that I love

On this land that I love

On this land that I love

I’m a fool, you know I’ve fallen for the fallacy

Buy a house, have a family

I’m a lucky one, you know I got my sweetheart

We’re gonna help each other out

We’re gonna lighten the load

In Tamaki Makaurau

And I wanna live in it

In the town where I grew up

On this land that I love

On this land that I love

On this land that I love
