Through The Barricades

Mother doesn't know where love has gone                 

She says it must be youth               

That keeps us feeeling 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              

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 that's torn in two              

And now I know what they're 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             

We'll cross the line            

And dance upon the street               

And now I know what they're saying              

When the drums begin to fade            

We made our love on wasteland           

And through the barricades      

Oh, turn around and I'll be there

There's a scar through my heart

But I'll 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 there's always one escape          

I don't 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               

There's everything to go                        

And now I know what they're are 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 are saying

as hearts go to their graves

we made our love on  wasteland 

And through the barricades.
