Lyrics

Did you see them going off to fight?
Children of the barricade who didn't last the night
Did you see them lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried
Did you see them lying side by side?
Who will wake them? (No one ever will)
No one ever told them that a summer day can kill
They were schoolboys, never held a gun
Fighting for a new world that would rise up like the sun
Where's that new world now the fighting's done?
Nothing changes, nothing ever will
Every year, another brat, another mouth to fill
Same old story, what's the use of tears?
What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears?
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
Through the years
Turning, turning, turning through the years (turning, turning through the years)
Minutes into hours and the hours into years (minutes, hours, hours into years)
Nothing changes, nothing ever can (nothing changes, nothing ever can)
Round and round the roundabout and back where you began (round and round the roundabout)
Round and round and back where you began
