Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'
Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin'
No time left, no-no
To pass the time of day
The people turned away
The people turned away
Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Oh yeah
The people turned away
Yes, the people turned away
Can you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
Some twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Yes it is, yes it is
Yes it is
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
The people turned away
The people turned away
