Mother doesnt know where love has gone She says it must be youth That keeps us feeeling strong 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 When the 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 tought me what to say in school I learned off by heart But now thats torn in two And now I know what theyre saying In the music of the parade 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 Im asleep Well cross the line And dance upon the street And now I know what theyre saying
When the drums begin to fade We made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Oh, turn around and Ill be there Theres a scar through my heart But Ill bare it again I thought? we were the human race But we were just another border-line-case And the stars reach down and tell us That theres always one escape I dont know where love has gone And in this trouble land Desperation keep us strong Fridays child is full of soul With nothing left to lose Theres everything to go And now I know what theyre are saying Its a terrible beauty weve made So we make our love on? wasteland And through the barricades Now I know what theyre are saying As hearts go to their graves We made our love on? wasteland And through the barricades.
