Mother doesn’t know where love has goneShe says it must be youthThat keeps us feeling strongI see it in her face, that’s turned to iceAnd when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they’re saying‘Cause our sun begins to fadeAnd we made our love on wastelandAnd through the barricades
Father made my historyHe fought for what he thoughtWould set us somehow freeHe taught me what to say in schoolI learned it off by heartBut now that’s torn in two
And now I know what they’re sayingIn the music of the paradeWe made our love on wastelandAnd through the barricades
Born on different sides of lifeWe feel the same and feel all of this strifeSo come to me when I’m asleepWe’ll cross the lineAnd dance upon the street
And now I know what they’re sayingThere’s the drums begin to fadeWe made our love on wastelandAnd through the barricadesOh, turn around and I’ll be thereOh, there’s a scar through my heart but I’ll bare it againOh, I thought we were the human raceBut we were just another borderline caseAnd the stars reach down and tell usThere’s always one escape
Oh, I don’t know where love has goneAnd in this trouble landDesperation keeps us strongFriday’s child is full of soulWith nothing left to lose, there’s everything to go
And now I know what they’re are sayingIt’s a terrible beauty we’ve madeSo we make our love on wastelandAnd through the barricades
Now I know what they’re are sayingAs hearts go to their gravesWe made our love on wastelandOh, and through the barricades
