I saw a group of men tearing a building down
With a heave and a ho and a mighty yell
They swung a beam and the side wall fell
I said to the foreman, "Hey, are these men skilled?"
"You know, the type you'd hire if you wanted to build?"
He laughed and said, "Why no, indeed."
"Common labor is all I need."
"For with common labor I can tear down in a day or two"
"What it took a builder ten years to do."
I thought to myself as I walked away,
"Which of these roles am I going to play?"
