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
