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 the new world now the fighting’s done
Nothing changes, nothing ever will
Every year another brat, 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
Tuning, turning, turning through the years
Minutes into hours, and the hours into years
Nothing changes nothing ever can
Round about the roundabout and back where you began
