Come neighbor, get ready to dance for your breadnMy son, I was once where you standnThere's a beast with insatiable hungernIt's minions need crafters and skilled, working handsnNeeds a fortress high in the hilltopsnAnd we are the great, chosen crewnBut I am a lowly carpenter, so, what have i power to do?nnOh, misery! Call us to rise up at dawnnTo turn whey as fast as we cannWe may be the mortar that cradles the brick,nbut i am just one grain of sand.nnAnd don't tell me i'm tossing the wretchednIt only brings pleasure and painnAnd we are all lowly carpenters, so,nWhere we're taken is where we remainnnAnd the master shall govern with unbroken backsnLook down from the top of the hillsnYou could cry through the night just as much as you likenThere will always be towers to buildnnI coulda been more than some stone-dragging vesselnI could be more than their wood-cutting slavenBut we are all lowly carpenters, so, what have we power to change?nnAnd if you can't take no more, then get out of the waynFor we've got a day to get throughnWe wire their castles, their prisons, and banksnKnow their mansions from cellar to roofnWe've got hammers, and wrenches, and chiselsnWe could destroy any great wall we come throughnBut I am a lowly carpenter, so, what have i power to do?n
