{ Intro End }
Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps this 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 wasteland and through the barricades
Mother.. ...gone...

{ Now play the 2nd part of the lyrics just like you did before }
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 half 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
{ When you reach the double vertical mark, switch to the part below: }

Born on different sides of life
We fear the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep ( sleep )
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
Born... ...life

F C G
Oh turn around and I'll be there
F C G
There's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear it again
F C
Oh I thought we were the human race
G F#m#5 Em
But we were just another borderline case
Am7 C D
And the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape
G F#m#5 Em
Oh I don't know where love has gone
C Em C D
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
G Bm C
A friday's child is through the soul
C Em C D
With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
C D G F#m#7 Em
And now I know what they're saying it's a terrible beauty we've made
C Am7 D G
So we make our love on wasteland and through the barricades
C D Em D C
And now I know what they're saying as our hearts go to their graves
C Am7 C D
And we made our love on wasteland and through
The barricades
{ Fade out playing this repeatedly ; find someone to play the sax ;) }
