This song, 'Liquor Store Insanity', supports Communities Against Alcohol Harm Inc who have been objecting against new liquor stores, especially in vulnerable communities such as South Auckland.

lyrics

There's been a liquor store free for all
One for every neighbourhood
Competing at the lowest price
Single sales till late at night

The people said loud and clear
No more liquor stores around here
We've got to put a stop
To liquor store insanity

Parliament took one look
Put a new law on the books
Ink had only dried, when it got
Completely undermined

The people said loud and clear
No more liquor stores around here
We've got to put a stop
To liquor store insanity

Wickman Way was the first
Turned out to be the worst
Liquor stores across from schools
How does that meet the rules

The people said loud and clear
No more liquor stores around here
We've got to put a stop
To liquor store insanity

Said we could have our say
Fighting licences every day
Reducing Alcohol Harm
That’s our reason … arm in arm

The people said loud and clear
No more liquor stores around here
We've got to put a stop
To liquor store insanity
We've got to put a stop
To liquor store insanity
