# Mother doesn't know where love's gone,

# she says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong.

# 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.

# 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 we feel all of this strife.

# So come to me when I'm asleep,

# 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.

# 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 only 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.

# And 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.

# Now I know what they're saying,

# as our hearts go to their graves.

# And we made our love on wasteland,

# and through,

# the barricades. #
