One by one

One by one Lyrics

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 questions he ignored
He washed his hand and dreamt of his reward a seat in the house of lust

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 words
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 gradifys 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

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))
