Badlands

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 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 Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting [Chorus] 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 fields Til you get your back burned Workin' 'neath the wheel Till you get your facts learned Baby got my facts Learned real good right now Poor man want to be rich Rich man want to be king And a king ain't satisfied Till he rules everything I want to go out tonight I want to 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 some day it may raise me Above these badlands [Chorus] For the ones who had a notion A notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I want to find one face that ain't looking through me I want to find one place I want to spit in the face of these badlands [Chorus]
