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 

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 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 

So come to me when I'm asleep 

We'll cross the line 

And dance upon the street 



And now I know what they're saying 

As 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 right through my heart

But I'll bare it again 

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 

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 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 are saying

as hearts go to their graves

we made our love on wasteland 

And through the barricades
