Badlands Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

    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

    whoa whoa whoa whoa
    badlands whoa whoa whoa whoa
    badlands whoa whoa whoa whoa
    badlands whoa whoa whoa whoa
    badlands whoa whoa whoa whoa
    badlands whoa whoa whoa whoa
