The Lowly Carpenter |
| Come neighbor, get ready to dance for your bread |
| My son, I was once where you stand |
| There’s a beast with insatiable hunger |
| It’s minions need crafters and skilled, working hands |
| Needs a fortress high in the hilltops |
| And we are the great, chosen crew |
| But I am a lowly carpenter, so, what have i power to do? |
| Oh, misery! |
| Call us to rise up at dawn |
| To turn whey as fast as we can |
| We may be the mortar that cradles the brick |
| But i am just one grain of sand |
| And don’t tell me i’m tossing the wretched |
| It only brings pleasure and pain |
| And we are all lowly carpenters, so |
| Where we’re taken is where we remain |
| And the master shall govern with unbroken backs |
| Look down from the top of the hills |
| You could cry through the night just as much as you like |
| There will always be towers to build |
| I coulda been more than some stone-dragging vessel |
| I could be more than their wood-cutting slave |
| But we are all lowly carpenters, so, what have we power to change? |
| And if you can’t take no more, then get out of the way |
| For we’ve got a day to get through |
| We wire their castles, their prisons, and banks |
| Know their mansions from cellar to roof |
| We’ve got hammers, and wrenches, and chisels |
| We could destroy any great wall we come through |
| But I am a lowly carpenter, so, what have i power to do? |
