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 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 waste ...land 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 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 waste ...land 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
and now I know what they're saying as the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on waste ...land and through the barricades
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
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 there's always one escape
Ohhh, I don't know where love has gone
and in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
Friday's 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
so we make our love on waste ... land and through the barricades
and now I know what they're saying, as our hearts go to their graves
We made our love on waste ... land oh and through ... the barricades
