Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland
A head-on collision bustin' 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
And I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens
Well, baby, I want the heart, the soul
I want control right now
Better listen to me, baby

Talkin' about a dream, tryin' 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 spend your time a-waiting

Badlands, live it everyday
The broken heared stand for the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good

Working in the fields, you get your back burned
Working 'neath the wheels, you get your facts learned
Baby, I got my facts learned real good right now
?????
Poor man wanna be rich, and a rich man wanna be king
A king ain't satisfied 'til he rules out everything
Gonna go out tonight, gonna find out what I got

I believe in the love that you gave me
Believe in the faith that'll save me
Believe and I hope and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these

Badlands, live it everyday
The broken hearted stand for the price you gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good

The ones who had a notion deep inside
It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
Gonn find one face that ain't looking through me
Gonn find one face, gonna spit in the face of these

Badlands, live it everyday
The broken hearted stand for the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
