'John Key is a dick'
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
20% of children live in poverty
The country stands to lose $39 million on the rugby
His Cabinet Ministers don't know how to behave
And all John Key does is smile and wave
Chorus:
John Key is a dick
Being popular makes him tick
John Key thinks he's cool
But you can't trust a currency trader fool
Verse 2:
The highest inflation since 1990
Worse performing universities
Flawed standards being introduced into schools
John Key jokes on Letterman and thinks he's cool
Verse 3:
Using failed policies of the 1990s
And debunked economic theories of the 1970s
The public service is being gutted
And about the All Blacks John Key can't shut up
Verse 4:
Claiming New Zealand is 100% pure
when studies show our water is not
Appearing illogical
And not answering questions properly
On Hard Talk on the BBC
When will New Zealand journalists interview
the PM properly?
Verse 5:
Building roads of "national significance" through someone's house
Invoking dictatorial powers about earthquakes and rugby
And ramming them through the house
John Key likes using urgency
He shows contempt for democracy

Glum ‘Stand Up And Vote’
Glum says
Stand up and vote!
Show your dissatisfaction at the increasing divide between the have and have nots
Now is the time for action , not apathy,
The rich are getting richer
And the people are getting weak
We’re getting poorer,
We’re getting poorer
We’re getting poorer, poorer …. Oh yeah.

Chorus
John Key is still a dick
A celebrity naff man
who's a little bit thick
Verse 1
Our rivers are getting more shitty
We've got more dairy cows
Than can fit in a city
36 million on the America's Cup
A waste of money on a classic kiwi choke up
Verse 2
John Key can't remember where
he stood on the Springbok Tour
If he was photographed with sushi
could he have less allure
If his mind is that bad how can
he do his job
Go back to your McMansion
and keep being a nouveau riche slob
Outro
Orivida and Judith Collins
Maurice Williamson
National and it's rich mates
Ex-tobacco company lobbyists standing
in electorates, shutting down the postal services
Novopay, What a crap government
Vote them out!

PowertoolRecords Auckland, New Zealand
Rough Church was conceived after the demise of Ferdinand, the band that existed from 1994-2003. Baseball, Concrete, rare steamy rain, tumbleweeds and lost poems about dirty chimneys are what influence this band. It spits out indie pop classic jams that get us compared to everything from Minutemen, Pixies, Broken Social Scene, WAR and Grand Funk. Deal with it! We can't get away from it. ... more
