Through The Barricades

Mother doesn’t know where love has gone,

She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong

I see it in her face thats turned to ice,

and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice,

and I know, what they’re saying,

as our sun begins to f         ade,

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 and now thats torn in two,

and now I know what they’re sayin’ in the music of the par         ade,

and 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 lines and dance upon the streets,

now I know what they’re saying,

when the drums begin to f         ade,

we made our love on wasteland,

and through the barricades,

Oh turn around and I’ll be there,

theres a scar through my heart but I’ll bear it again,

well I thought we were the human race,

but were just another borderline case,

and the stars reach down and tell us, theres always one escape, oooh

oh, I dont know where love has gone,

and in this troubled land, desperation keeps us strong,

Fridays child is full of soul,

with nothing left to lose, theres everything to go,

And now I know what they’re saying,

its a terrible beauty weve made,

so we make our love on wasteland,

and through the barricades,

now I know what they’re saying,

as hearts go on to they’re graves,

we made our love on wasteland,

and through,the barricades,
