Be A Plumber - Akira the Don

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
