Women
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
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
