Be A Plumber (2019 ver.)

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, 1,000 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, solve problems

[Chorus]
We need to people to solve problems
Solve problems, solve problems
We don't need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems
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, make a lot of money as a trades person
It's a bloody reliable, honorable
Forthright, productive way of making a living
Way of making a living, 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
Most in terms of skill and ethics, right?
And you work with someone who knows what they're doing
It's a bloody pleasure
They tell you what they're gonna 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

[Chorus]
We don't need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems
Solve problems, solve problems
We need people to solve problems
Solve problems, solve problems
We don't need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems
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
Be a good one, you know
Be a good one, you know
