Mother doesn't know where love has gone
|
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
|
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
|
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
|
|
And now I know what they're saying
|
As our sun begins to fade
|
And we made our love on wasteland
|
And through the barricades
|
|
Father made my history
|
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
|
He taught me what to say in school
|
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
|
|
And now I know what they're saying
|
In the music of the parade
|
And we made our love on wasteland
|
And through the barricades
|
|
Born on different sides of life
|
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
|
So come to me when I'm asleep
|
And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets
|
|
And now I know what they're saying
|
As the drums begin to fade
|
And we made our love on wasteland
|
And through the barricades
|
|
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
|
Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again
|
Oh, I thought we were the human race
|
But we were just another borderline case
|
And the stars reach down and tell us
|
That there's always one escape
|
|
Oh, I don't know where love has gone
|
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
|
Friday's child is full of soul
|
With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go
|
|
And now I know what they're saying
|
It's a terrible beauty we've made
|
So we make our love on wasteland
|
And through the barricades
|
|
And now I know what they're saying
|
As our hearts go to their graves
|
And we made our love on wasteland
|
And through the barricades
|
