lyrics

(Everyone)
Ah ha ah ha...

V1
Think you found a loophole
Little worm you worm away alright
No obstacle those pesky people
It doesn't keep you awake at night?

That you're ripping up homes here
Sign it off - with your backhanders
You've got a right do you?
Gormless & with no fear
(with no care)

Ah ha Ah ha

V2
What did you do at University -
Get real good at telling lies?
& If I saw you in the street would you smile
Or really wanna spit in my eye?

Well we stand undivided - let it be clear
That we stand divided, let it be clear that -

Your piece a paper's no good round here

Chorus - everyone
Ah ha ah ha

Your piece a paper's no good round here sir!

V3 /bridge

Well I been feeling the earth beneath my feet, Wade in it nice, the Mauri reaches down deep
From the bottom of the mountain to it's noble heights,
calling you & me to reclaim our birthrite!
Well, here comes Mr Two-Face Briefcase
Waving his papers like he's got a case but,

His piece a paper's no good round here!

Ah ha ah ha

His piece a paper's no good round here

Well it's just a piece of paper, let's clear that up right?
& you're a flash in the pan, never underestimate this land's might.
Well your time's nearly up boy - we're grinning ear to ear..

Tangata Whenua o Mana Whenua !
The people are the land and the land is the people here ..

Singing your piece a paper's no good round here..

(Everyone acapella+ percussion)

Your piece a paper's no good round here
Your piece a paper's no good round here
