There's no depression in New Zealand, just like there's no racism
If you scoop out your eyes, If you plug up your ears you'll never have to suffer through
The cries of the desperate, the pleas of the cold
The inconvenience of inequality: just a memory of a resentment grown old

Once summer's started we'll forget to think about what it means to be
Living in this apathetic country, stupefied by drink and the myth of democracy

Oh man, I love progress. The sweet decline of success
And I think John Key's cool, wish he'd come to my barbeque and drink my beers
If you scoop out your eyes, if you plug up your ears
You'll never be desperate, never shed no tears

Once summer's started we'll forget to think about how it feels to be
Little more than just a bunch of morons who trade love for fear
And we just traded up last year
Yeah once summer's started we'll be at the beach watching the Rena sink
Out there on the horizon is what we fail to see
And it's quickly reeling us in

Forget national pride, no we're not egalitarian
The rats used to move amongst us, but now I'm sad to say we're moving amongst them

Yeah once summer's started we'll forget to think about all we stand to lose
'Cause this is Aotearoa and we love reggae at a barbeque
But we hate the hear the truth
Just look at our Prime Minister for proof
