(Women sweeping barricades) |
|
Women1: |
|
Did you see them going off to fight? |
|
Women2: |
|
Children of the barricade who didn't last the night |
|
Women3: |
|
Did you see them lying where they died? |
|
Women4: |
|
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried |
|
Women2: |
|
Did you see them lying side by side? |
|
Women5: |
|
Who will wake them? |
|
Women6: |
|
No one ever will |
|
No one ever told them that a summer day can kill |
|
Women7: |
|
They were school boys never held a gun |
|
Fighting for a new world that would rise up like the sun |
|
Women4: |
|
Where's that new world when the fighting's done? |
|
Women8: |
|
Nothing changes nothing ever will |
|
Women1: |
|
Every year another brat |
|
another mouth to fill |
|
Women6: |
|
Same old story what's the use of tears? |
|
Women3: |
|
What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears? |
|
All women: |
|
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning through the years |
|
Turning, turning, turning through the years |
|
Minutes into hours and the hours into years |
|
Nothing changes, nothing ever can |
|
Round and round the roundabout and back where you began! |
|
Round and round and back where you began! |
