Through the Barricades

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
 She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
 I 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
 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
 
 But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
 So come to me when I'm asleep (asleep)
 And we'll cross the lines and dance upon 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 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 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 go
 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 their graves
 And we made our love on wasteland
 Oh, and through the barricades
