Light's out tonight

Trouble in the heartland

Got a head-on collision

Smashin' in my guts, man

I'm caught in a crossfire

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

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 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

Don't waste your time waiting Badlands, you gotta live it everyday

Let the broken hearts stand

As the price you've gotta pay

Keep pushin' till it's understood

These Badlands start treating us good Workin' in the field

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 Get it straight

Poor man wanna be rich

Rich man wanna be king

And a king ain't satisfied

Till he rules everything

Wanna go out tonight

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, gotta live it everyday

Let the broken hearts stand

As the price you've gotta pay

Keep pushin' till it's understood

These Badlands start treating us good

Whoa, whoa For the ones who had a notion

A notion deep inside

That it ain't no sin

To be glad you're alive

Wanna find one face

That ain't looking through me

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 pushin' till it's understood

These Badlands start treating us good Whoa, whoa, Badlands

Whoa, whoa, Badlands

Whoa, whoa, Badlands

Whoa, whoa, Badlands

Whoa, whoa
