Men don't struggle for power That isn't what men do, not if they're civilised They size each other up and elect the competent to lead them And they do that at every level of society I worked in a rail crew in Southern Saskatchewan They're rough guys, like a lot of them had been in prison, you know And when you first came onto the rail crew you got a stupid nickname and people teased you And I remember this one kid called Lunchbucket That was his nickname 'cos he came to the rail crew With a lunch bucket that looked like his Mum had packed it; that was a bad idea So they named him Lunchbucket, which he wasn't very happy about Well that was a mistake, he should've taken it with a smile And then he was always peevish and irritable and if you asked him to do something he'd whine Soon, there was about 60 men on this crew it stretched out About a quarter of a mile down the tracts Soon anonymous harassers were throwing pebbles at him during work We had hardhats on and so the game was Let's see if we can hit Lunchbucket in the hardhat with a pebble And then that was purposeful because he couldn't take a joke; it was like Well let's see if he can take this joke Clunk And then he just got more and more peevish and the pebbles got bigger and bigger And you know a week later Lunchbucket was gone, having not learned anything from the experience But you know, the men were testing him out It's like can you take a joke? Can you be useful? Can you at least be amusing? Is there something worthwhile about you? It's like no It's like ok well then you're out of here because you never know When we actually might need to depend on you
