The Neon Streets are empty, and the moon's my only light Runnin' from the shadows, but there's no runnin' from the fight Final pity for your city fools, when the shotgun makes the rules In the badlands, there's a bad lord shinin' down Badlands, runnin' with no foolin' around Your mama can't protect ya, and you're the apple of her eye When the strange agate blues come to ya, it's time to do or die It doesn't matter which is quicker, silent or sweeping In the badlands, there's a bad lord shinin' down Badlands, runnin' with no foolin' around I'm in the badlands, I don't know who I am Badlands, you really taught me all you can It doesn't matter which is quicker, silent or sweeping In the badlands, dead without a sound Badlands, runnin' with no foolin' around I'm in the badlands, badlands, badlands Badlands, badlands Badlands Badlands Badlands Badlands Badlands Badlands
