He aha te mea nui o te ao ?
What is the most important thing in the world?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata
It is the people, it is the people, it is the people

They stuck a needle in my arm but I didn't mind 
I chose it for myself, my own health , I wasn't thinking 'bout  the 'Greater Good'

My doctor warned me it might do me harm but he'd  been 
misinformed  ,in New Zealand  the Government  prescribes  the best medicine for the 'Greater Good'

They promised us ice cream, fried chicken, and tickets to the show
and for one day , we could even go out and play - all  for the 'Greater Good'  

Nek Minnit !!! ...   an official government warning - issued
to my law abiding, community minded  friend   'No Jab, No Job ! '  
 I couldn't see  how this could be for the 'Greater Good

 They're  goin' crazy,  on the airwaves
 Loudspeakers playin' in my street
 Like  holy rollers on a Crusade
 Like watching history repeat

I know  a man with a family to feed he say's he's got no time, 'no time'he says, 'what does that even mean ..  for the Greater Good'?

A woman with a baby on the way don't wanna risk her child
so they tell her   Someone has to walk the extra mile  for the 'Greater Good'

There's a town where the mayor doesn't want it and she won't say why
So they named her and shamed her , all  for the 'Greater Good'

People just  love to tell you   'I  respect your rights and you're free to choose' 
but it's 'heads they win,  tails you lose'   -  for the 'Greater Good'

 They're  goin' crazy,  on the airwaves
 Loudspeakers playin' in my street
 Like  holy rollers on a Crusade
 Like watching history repeat

It's a very slippery slope  
To pass a law without a vote
We' re always gonna lose
If we don't have the right to choose

He aha te mea nui o te ao ?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata
