March to the Docks - The Lilac Time

We ran up Constitution Hill

Like we would never stop

We didn’t know we were landfill

And we’d never reach the top

Let’s march to the docks and let’s cry

They’re changing the locks on our lives

Every day another dream dies on us

We took it all for granted

They took it all away

The have-it-alls have it in Hampstead

The have-nones always pay

So march to the docks and let’s cry

Stop changing the locks on our lives

Every day another dream dries on us

Another dream dies

When the wicked witch blows

We’ll be delivered from evil

Then our children are evil

When you are bound to nothing

You’re bound to everyone

So I’d rather lose myself with you

Than be saved alone long gone

Let’s march to the docks and let’s cry

They’re changing the locks on our lives

Every day another dream dies on us

So march to the docks and let’s cry

Stop changing the locks on our lives

Every day another dream dies on us
