Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
got a head-on collision
Smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire
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 in betweens
Honey I want the heart
I want the soul
I want control
right now
You'd 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
Well 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 pushin'
till it's understood
and these badlands
start treating us good
Workin' in the fields
till you get
your back burned
Workin' '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 men wanna
be rich
rich men 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
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 may raise me
above these
Badlands you gotta
live it every day
let the broken hearts
stand as the price
you've gotta pay
Keep pushin'
till it's understood
and these badlands
start treating us good
Woh woh woh woh
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
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 pushin'
till it's understood
and these badlands
start treating us good
Woh woh woh woh
badlands
Woh woh woh woh
badlands
Woh woh woh woh
badlands
