One by one the ships come sailing in

One by one the ships 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

A sea of changes three miles wide

Whose side are you on?

One by one the ships come sailing in

One by one the ships go sailing out

This conspiracy of shame

Murder by some other name

Play up and play the game

Whose side are you on?

If any ask us why we died

We tell them that our leaders lied

Sold us out down the riverside

Whose side are you on?

One by one the ships come sailing in

One by one the ships go sailing out

(Repeat)
