Lights out tonight Trouble in the heartland Got a head on collision Smashing in my guts man I'm caught in a crossfire That I don't understand But there's one thing I know for sure, girl
I don't give a damn For the same old played out scenes Baby I don't give a damn For just the inbetweens Honey, I want the heart I want the soul I want control right now You better listen to me, baby
Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real You spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Don't waste your time waiting
Badlands You gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay Keep pushing till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good
Working in the field Till you get your back burned Working 'neath the wheels Till you get your facts learned Baby I got my facts Learned real good right now You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich Rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied Till he rules everything I wanna go out tonight I wanna find out what I got
Well I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that could save me I believe in the hope and I pray that some day It will raise me above these
Badlands You gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay Keep pushing till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good
Whoah whoah whoah whoah
Mm m m m Mm m m m m Mm m m m Mm m m m m
For the ones who had a notion A notion deep inside That it ain't no sin To be glad you're alive I wanna find one face That ain't looking through me I wanna find one place I wanna spit in the face of these
Badlands You gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay Keep pushing till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good
