Get down, gonna lead you by the hand All around the streets of Rackrentland Where housing supply can't meet demand And the landlords have complete command See the view down Rackrent Avenue Where the markets do what the markets do Which is turn the screw for the rent to rise To incentivise private enterprise And in the rarefied air of Rackrent Square Hear the property developers all declare Better make way for the future, let's prepare For nineteenth century laissez-faire In Rackrentland Rackrentland, you know the way Your rent goes up, but not your pay Try to get by, but that won't fly Try to get by, the rent's too high Try to get by until one day You can't afford to move Can't afford to stay In Rackrentland. On Rackrent Road where there's back rent owed They'll be stacked and stowed in a packed abode On Rackrent Heights and Rackrent Rise See the lights go out in the renters' eyes Because the going rate is never up for debate Demand is high, supply is late The state complies when the markets dictate Why? We can only speculate In Rackrentland Rackrentland, you know the way Your rent goes up, but not your pay Try to get by, but that won't fly Try to get by, the rent's too high Try to get by until one day You can't afford to move Can't afford to stay In Rackrentland We have to cherish all the children equally Nobody here is going to get to ride for free Sponging off of everyone else's industry Unless you happen to be a landlord, obviously We have to leave the market to its own devices Housing crisis? What housing crisis? Somebody has to make these sacrifices For the sake of rocketing property prices In Rackrentland Rackrentland, you know the way Your rent goes up, but not your pay Try to get by, but that won't fly Try to get by, the rent's too high Try to get by until that day You can't afford to move Can't afford to stay In Rackrentland The squireen wants your bank details Your fingerprints, your fingernails And on each gale day the lease entails A pound of flesh, you pay for the scales The walks close in a little more each year But our duty is clear, we have to not interfere Because the property market has moved up a gear And we can't waste housing on the homeless here In Rackrenand
