Oh, I thought we were the human race
Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again
Father made my history
Friday's child is full of soul
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
And the stars reach down and tell us
And now I know what they're saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
And now I know what they're saying
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
And through the barricades
And we made our love on wasteland
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
So come to me when I'm asleep
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
As the drums begin to fade
And through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
And now I know what they're saying
And through the barricades
In the music of the parade
And we made our love on wasteland
With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go
As our sun begins to fade
As our hearts go to their graves
He taught me what to say in school
And we made our love on wasteland
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
Oh, I don't know where love has gone
And now I know what they're saying
So we make our love on wasteland
That there's always one escape
And we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets
And through the barricades
And we made our love on wasteland
But we were just another borderline case
And now I know what they're saying
