[WOMAN ONE]
Did you see them going off to fight?
[WOMAN TWO]
Children of the barricade who didn't last the night?
[WOMAN THREE]
Did you see them lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried
[WOMAN FOUR]
Did you see them lying side by side?
[WOMAN FIVE]
Who will wake them?
[WOMAN SIX]
No one ever will
[TWO]
No one ever told them
That a summer day can k**
[SEVEN]
They were schoolboys
Never held a gun
Fighting for a new world
That would rise up like the sun
[THREE]
Where's that new world now the fighting's done?
[FOUR]
Nothing changes
[SEVEN]
Nothing ever will
[EIGHT]
Every year another brat, another mouth to fill
[SEVEN]
Same old story. What's the use of tears?
[FIVE]
What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears?
[FIVE into ALL]
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
Through the years [GROUP 1] [GROUP 2] Turning, turning, turning through the years Turning, turning Minutes into hours, and the hours into years Minutes, hours Nothing changes, nothing ever can Nothing changes, nothing ever can Round about the roundabout and back where you began Round about the roundabout [ALL]
Round and round and back where you began!
