Pontius Pilate came t oour townUp to the dockyards to see the picket lineWe asked him to help but he just turned aroundHe's the leader of the union nowLeader of the unionAll of our questions he ignoredHe washed his hands and he dreamed of his rewardA seat in the House of LordsOne by oneThe ships come sailing inOne by oneThe ships go sailing outWe live for words and die for wordsPrinciples we can affordWhen all our Brothers turn to LordsWhose side are you on?You tell the world your hands are tiedHistory three times deniedA sea of changes three miles wideWhose side are you on?One by oneSongtexteThe ships come sailing inOne by oneThe ships go sailing outThis conspiracy of shameMurder by some other namePlay up and play the gameWhose side are you on?If any ask us why we diedWe tell them that our leaders liedSold us out down the riversideWhose side are you on?One by oneThe ships come sailing inOne by oneThe ships go sailing out
