One, two, three, four
Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeling strong
See it in her face, it's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying
'Cause 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
We feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
And we'll cross the lines and dance up on the streets
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
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again
Oh, I thought we were the human race
But we are 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 trouble 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 are saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
So we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Now I know what they're are saying
As our hearts go to their graves
And we made our love on wasteland
Oh-oh, and through the barricades
