Lyrics

[00:18.449] Mother doesn't know where love has gone
[00:27.229] She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
[00:32.997] I see it in her face that's turned to ice
[00:42.275] And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
[00:46.040] And now I know what they're saying
[00:49.302] As our sun begins to fade
[00:56.578] And we made our love on wasteland
[01:00.590] And through the barricades
[01:08.618] Father made my history
[01:15.643] He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
[01:21.160] He taught me what to say in school
[01:29.940] I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
[01:34.205] And now I know what they're saying
[01:38.472] In the music of the parade
[01:45.245] And we made our love on wasteland
[01:49.510] And through the barricades
[01:54.522] Born on different sides of life
[02:03.556] But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
[02:09.078] So come to me when I'm asleep
[02:17.862] And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets
[02:22.372] And now I know what they're saying
[02:26.885] As the drums begin to fade
[02:32.407] And we made our love on wasteland
[02:37.425] And through the barricades
[02:44.227] Oh turn around and I'll be there
[02:49.747] Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again
[02:53.511] Oh I thought we were the human race
[02:58.278] But we were just another borderline case
[03:02.041] And the stars reach down and tell us
[03:07.304] That there's always one escape
[03:13.323] Oh I don't know where love has gone
[03:20.856] And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
[03:26.374] Friday's child is full of soul
[03:33.901] With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
[03:38.168] And now I know what they're saying
[03:42.935] It's a terrible beauty we've made
[03:48.457] So we make our love on wasteland
[03:52.972] And through the barricades
[03:56.863] And now I know what they're saying
[04:01.312] As our hearts go to their graves
[04:09.339] And we made our love on wasteland
[04:09.339] And through the barricades
