Mother doesn't know
where our 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 song
begins to fade
And we made our love
on wasteland
And through
the barricades
Father made my history
And fought
for what he thought
would set us
somehow free
He taught me
what to say in school
I learned it off by heart
and now that's
torn in two
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 street
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
There's a scar
right through my heart
but I'll bare it again
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 know
Now I know
what they're saying
It's a terrible
beauty we've made
So we made 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 waste.....land
And through
the barricades
