Mahu Ariki Nui
(Yoghurt/Chielie)

It’s an albatoss
the coin never drops
we aren’t that smart
the way to our heart
still doesn’t lead to the treetops
It follows the path of the strongest
the longest, the hardest
it tunnels and plummets below
much to the mountaineer’s loss

Sunrise shadows of tallest clouds
stretch to the end of the world
Hope flares where the flaming shrouds
burn where the hurricanes whirled.

mahu ariki nui
(motherfucker!)
mahu ariki nui
(motherfucker!)

it’s an albatoss
flip your tender and leave
nothing will sink through the sieve
joy of ages, greed still rages
(don’t forget to tip the lender)
while you’re on your way in
to the depths of debt
flytrap for the inept

When will you learn to swing the rope
not to just sit tight walk it
freedom’s cheaper than dope
your lives should totally talk it

It’s an albatoss
like you’ve seen
on prime Sunday morning tv
the minister really believes what he says
but you won’t believe what you see
all of it gone, every dime taken
where are your dreams
by the time you awaken
eyes and splinters,
fingers, sphincters
I said it before

Sunrise shadows of tallest clouds
stretch to the end of the world
Hope flares where the flaming shrouds
burn where the hurricanes whirled.

mahu ariki nui
(motherfucker!)
mahu ariki nui
(motherfucker!)

It’s an albatoss
– you’re being lifted
by the albatross
– don’t think you’re gifted
It’s an albatoss
– you will be dropped
by the albatross
– it won’t be stopped

When will you learn to swing the rope
not to just sit tight, walk it
freedom’s cheaper than dope
your lives should totally talk it

Talk the talk, walk the walk
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Walk the talk, talk the walk
Walkie-talkie it.
