Your rating:
Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland Got a head-on collision smashin' 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 Baby, 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 You better listen to me baby, 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 Well don't waste your time waiting Badlands, you gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay We'll keep pushin' till it's understood And 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 You better get it straight, darling Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king And a king ain't 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 faith that could save me I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it may raise me above these Badlands, you gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay Keep pushin' till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good Awhoa whoa whoa whoa [guitar instrumental] [saxophone instrumental] Mmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmm For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these Badlands, you gotta live it every day Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay Keep movin' till it's understood And these badlands start treating us good Awhoa whoa whoa whoa Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa Badlands, ahwoa whoa whoa whoa Badlands, ahwoa whoa whoa whoa Badlands, ahwoa whoa whoa whoa Badlands... [till fade]
