Lyrics Be A Plumber - Akira the Don

Be A Plumber

We need to know who the competent people are
And we need to reward them
And even more importantly
We need to tell young people
Hey, there’s some hierarchies of competence out there!
Like‚ a thousand of them!
Go be a plumber man!
But be a good one‚ you know
Be an honest one
Because otherwise all you do is go out there and cause trouble
We don’t need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems!
Solve problems!
We need people to solve problems!
Solve problems!
We don’t need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems!
Solve problems!
Go be a plumber man!
Go be a plumber man!
Be a good one‚ you know
You know, and so you can be a tradesman
And you can be…
You can make a lot of money as a tradesperson
It’s a bloody
Reliable, honorable‚ uh, forthright way of making a living
And there is a hell of a lot of difference between a working man
Who knows what he’s doing and one who doesn’t
Both in skill and ethics
Right, when you work with someone
Who knows what they’re doing its a bloody pleasure
They tell you what they’re going to do
They tell you how much it will cost
They go and do it‚ it works
And you pay them
Perfect
Everyone’s happy
And that’s what happens when you have genuine hierarchies of competence
We don’t need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems!
We need people to solve problems!
Solve problems!
We don’t need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems!
Solve problems!
Go be a plumber man!
Go be a plumber man!
Go be a plumber man!
Be a good one, you know
