Mother
doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
A sin and a 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 And fought for
what he thought would set us somehow free
They taught me what to say in school I
learned it off by heart but now that's torn
in two And now I know
what they're saying in the
music of the parade 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 their strife
So come to me when I'm asleep And we'll
cross the lines and dance upon the streets
And now I know
what they're saying as the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
Oh,
turn around and I'll be there Oh,
there's a scar right through my heart
but I'll bear 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
That there's
always one escape Oh,
I don't know where our love has gone
Brightest child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose There's everything to go
And now I know what they're saying It's a terrible beauty we've made
It's a terrible beauty we've made So we make our love on wasteland
and through
the barricades And now I know
what they're saying
As our hearts go to their graves And we made our love on wasteland
