Through the Barricades (Live) [Acoustic Version]

Mother doesn't know where love has gone Says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong I see it in her face that's turned to ice When she smiles, she shows the lines of sacrifice And now I know what they're saying As the sun begins to fade And we make our love on a wasteland 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 make our love on a wasteland Through the barricades Born on different sides of life But we feel the same and feel all of this strife So come to me when I'm asleep And we'll cross the lines and dance upon the street And now I know what they're saying As the drums begin to fade And we make our love on a wasteland 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 out and tell us That there's always one escape Oh, I don't know where love has gone And in this trouble land, desperation keeps us strong Friday's child is full of soul There's nothing left to lose but everything to go And now I know what they're saying It's the terrible beauty we made And we make our love on a 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 a wasteland Oh, and through the barricades Through the barricades
