Songtekst

Mother doesn't know where love has 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
Now I know what they are saying
As our sun begins to fade
And we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
They taught me what to say in school
I learned it off my heart
But now that's torn in two
Now I know what they're saying
In the music of the parade
As we make 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
And we'll cross the line
And dance upon the streets
Now I know what they're saying
As the drums begin to fade
As we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades

Oh, turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar right to 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
There's always one escape

I don't know where love has gone
And in this troubled land
Desperation keeps us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to loose
There's everywhere to go

Now I know what they're saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
And we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
And now I know what they are saying
As our hearts go to their graves
As we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
