A tune about the excesses of the then head of WINZ 9(Work and Income New Zealand), a service to help support those living in financial tough situations. Christine Rankin brought, with her employment, a new sense and corporate feel. A swan with the savvy to flout financial flamboyance in a 'sector' establish to ease the suffering of hardship.
lyrics
Outlined, redefined,
follow the line,
in corporate time.
Do you take cream, in a cappuccino?
Did you come to work, in a new Pajero?
Gain wealth, only self,
while those on the shelf,
are going hand to mouth.
How about a flight up country, in a plane?
Or a dismissive statement, to shift the blame?
High style, golden mile,
media smile,
it’s why I think you’re vile.
Do the genuine needy, confront hold outs?
Do those in admin, gets heaps of corporate shouts?
Put a corporate face,
to the poor.
Doing real work,
is such a bore.
Still a beneficiary,
except she gets much more.
Doing paltry,
for what she’s banking,
cant understand the laughing,
When we caught
Christine wanking.
