Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
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
They 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 danceupon 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 itagain
Oh, I thought we were the human race but we were just anotherborderline case
And the stars reach down and tell us that there's always oneescape
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 theirgraves
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
