Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashinī in my guts, man
Iīm caught in a cross fire
that I donīt understand
But thereīs one thing I know for sure girl
I donīt give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I donīt give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just donīt come
Well, donīt waste your time waiting
(Chorus)
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youīve gotta pay
Weīll keep pushinī till itīs understood
and these badlands start treating us good
Workinī in the fields
till you get your back burned
Workinī īneath 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 ainīt 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 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
(Chorus)
mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm
For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ainīt no sin
to be glad youīre alive
I wanna find one face
that ainīt looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
