Through The Barricades

Mother doesnt know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face thats turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what theyre 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 thats torn in two
And now I know what theyre 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 Im asleep
And well cross the line and dance upon the streets
And now I know what theyre saying
As the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Oh, turn around and Ill be there
Well theres a scar right through my heart but Ill 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 theres always one escape
Oh, I dont know where love has gone
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose, theres everything to go
And now I know what theyre saying
Its a terrible beauty weve made
So we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
And now I know what theyre saying
As our hearts go to their graves
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
