[Verse 1]
Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear
Oh, what the little fish are saying?
[Refrain]
Ah
Ooh
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away
[Verse 2]
Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, oh no
To pass the time of day
[Refrain]
Ah
Ooh
Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away
The people turned away
[Bridge]
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run
See how they run, see how they run
Do you still do the twist?
Do you find you remember things that well?
I wanna tell you, some go twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, oh
[Verse 3]
Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singing about their growin'
Knowing where they're goin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
Ah
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yeah, the people turned away
[Verse 4]
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature
And she will come back again
Yeah, yes, she will
[Refrain]
Ah
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
The people turned away
Don't they know that they're goin'?
