Lyrics for Song: One By One
Lyrics for Album: Tubthumper [1998]
Ponchus Pilot came to our town,
up to the dock yard to see the picket lines.
We asked him to help but just turned around,
he is the leader of the union now.
Leader of the union all of our questions he ignored
He washed his hands and dreamt of his reward a seat in the house of lords.
One by one the ships come sailing in
One by one the ship go sailing out
We live for words and die for words; principles we can afford.
When all our brothers turn to lords
Whose side are you on?
You tell the world your hands are tied; history three times denied.
the sea of change is three miles wide
Whose side are you on?
One by one the ships come sailing in
One by one the ship go sailing out
This conspiracy of shame, murder by some other name
Pay up and play the game
Whose side are you on?
If any ask us why we died, we tell that them our leaders lied.
Sold us out down the river side,
whose side are you on?
One by one the ships come sailing in
One by one the ship go sailing out
((trumpet))
One by one the ships come sailing in
One by one the ship go sailing out
One by one the ships come sailing in
One by one the ship go sailing out ((fade out))
