Badlands
Lights out tonight,
Trouble in the heartland,
Got a head on collision,
Smashin in my guts, man,
Im caught in a cross fire,
That I dont understand,
I dont give a damn,
for the same old played out scenes,
I dont 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 dont come,
Well, dont waste your time waiting,
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youve gotta pay,
Well keep pushin till its 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,
Poor man wanna be rich,
rich man wanna be king,
And a king aint satisfied,
till he rules everything,
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got
I believe in the love that you gave me,
I believe in the hope that can save me,
I believe in the faith
and I pray, that someday it may raise me,
Above these badlands
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youve gotta pay,
Well keep pushin till its understood,
and these badlands start treating us good.
For the ones who had a notion,
A notion deep inside,
That it aint no sin to be glad youre alive
I wanna find one face that aint looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youve gotta pay,
Well keep pushin till its understood,
and these badlands start treating us good.
