| Down by the seaside
|
| See the boats go sailin'
|
| Can the people hear, oh What the little fish are sayin'
|
| Oh, oh, the people turned away
|
| Oh, the people turned away
|
| Down in the city streets
|
| See all the folk go racin', racin'
|
| No time left, no-no
|
| To pass the time of day
|
| Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away
|
| The people turned away
|
| So far away, so far away
|
| See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run
|
| Run-run, run-run, run-run
|
| Do you still do the twist
|
| Do you find you remember things that well
|
| I wanna tell you
|
| Some folk twistin' every day
|
| Though sometimes it’s awful hard to tell
|
| Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh Out in the country
|
| Hear the people singin'
|
| Singin' 'bout their progress
|
| Knowin' where they’re goin'
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
|
| Yes, the people turned away
|
| Sing loud for the sunshine
|
| Pray hard for the rain
|
| And show your love for Lady Nature
|
| And she will come back again
|
| Yes she will, yes she will
|
| Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
|
| The people turned away
|
| Don’t they know that they’re goin' |
