[Intro] [staccato electric guitar riff, palm-muted] [bass and drums enter] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals] Everybody's talking 'bout The way the kids today are out Of their minds but I can see It's not their fault society 'Cause all they ever got from you was telling them what not to do [Verse 2] You can't drink 'cause you're too young You won't succeed 'cause you're too dumb Don't smoke that stuff it'll fry your head And don't have sex you'll end up dead And that's not what they need to hear they need to know that someone cares [Chorus] Barriers of love You got yours and I got mine Barriers of love It's time we leave them all behind Barriers of love Let them down your heart might break Barriers of love That's a chance you gotta take [handclaps on beats 2 and 4] [Verse 2] Rich man in his limousine Poor man sleeping in the street Evangelism gone to hell And bigotries for public sale Equality for all still true but only for the chosen few [Chorus] Barriers of love You got yours and I got mine Barriers of love It's time we leave them all behind Barriers of love Let them down your heart might break Barriers of love That's a chance you gotta take [handclaps] [Verse 3] Girl you know it's you and me We know each other thoroughly But you won't let me touch your heart It's time to tear your walls apart You won't get hurt with your heart encaged but if you don't run you'll never win the race [Chorus] Barriers of love You got yours and I got mine Barriers of love It's time we leave them all behind Barriers of love Let them down your heart might break Barriers of love That's a chance you gotta take [handclaps] Barriers of love
