lyrics

They wanna build a new motorway
From Tip Top Corner to Onehunga Bay
Say they’ll pay almost any price
The people said … don’t cut no dice.

We gotta ReThink, ReThink, ReThink the East-West Link
We gotta ReThink, Re-Think, Re-Think the East-West Link
We gotta ReeeeeThink … the East-West Link

The people drew … another plan
Going under … not across the land
Even had a quicker route
NZTA just gave it the boot

We gotta ReThink, ReThink, ReThink the East-West Link
We gotta ReThink, ReThink, ReThink the East-West Link
We gotta Reeeee-Think … the East West Link

Don’t need no … no motorway
Don’t need no … no motorway
Don’t need no … no motorway

The final option … why oh why
Trenches under … then across the sky
Blocking people … from the shore
Let’s say no … let’s show it the door

We gotta ReThink, ReThink, ReThink the East-West Link
We gotta ReThink, ReThink, ReThink the East-West Link
We gotta ReeeeeThink … the East-West Link

Don’t want no … no motorway
Don’t need no … no motorway
Don’t need no … no motorway
