lights out tonight trouble in the heartland
got a headon 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 better listen to me baby
pre
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 everyday
let the broken hearts stand as the price you’ve gotta pay
we’ll 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 wheel 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
pre
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 may raise me above these
badlands you gotta live it everyday
let the broken hearts stand as the price you’ve gotta pay
we’ll keep pushin’ till it’s understood
and these badlands start treating us good
saxophone s
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 everyday
let the broken hearts stand as the price you’ve gotta pay
keep movin’ till it’s understood
and these badlands start treating us good
