When the world has gone crazy
And it's all becoming clear
When they're gunning down our comrades
And it seems the end is near
As they're loading up the launchers
For the tear gas grenades
We can take off our bandanas
And kiss behind the barricades
When it's madness all around
And you can see this at a glance
We will sing and we will cry
We will laugh and we will dance
As they shout their marching orders
Beneath the helicopter blades
We shall seize the moment
For a kiss behind the barricades
They will try to break our spirit
And at times they may succeed
But our love for the world
Is stronger than their greed
When the building is surrounded
And hope begins to fade
In my final hour
A kiss behind the barricades
As the movement grows
There will be hills and bends
But at the center of the struggle
Are your lovers and your friends
And the more we hold each other up
The less we can be swayed
Here's to love and solidarity
And a kiss behind the barricades
