Behind the Barricades
When the world has gone crazyAnd it's all becoming clearWhen they're gunning down our comradesAnd it seems the end is nearAs they're loading up the launchersFor the tear gas grenadesWe can take off our bandannasAnd kiss behind the barricadesWhen it's madness all aroundYou can see this at a glanceWe will cry and we will sing,We will laugh and we will danceAs they shout their marching ordersBeneath the helicopter bladesWe will seize the momentFor a kiss behind the barricadesThey will try to break our spiritAnd at times they may succeedBut our love for the worldIs stronger than their greedWhen the building is surroundedAnd hope begins to fadeIn my final hourA kiss behind the barricadesLetras de cancionesAs the movement growsThere will be hills and bendsBut at the center of the struggleAre your lovers and your friendsThe more we hold each other upThe less we can be swayedHere's to love and solidarityAnd a kiss behind the barricades
