Badlands

[Verse 1]

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

I don't give a damn for the same old played-out scenes

I don't give a damn for just the in-between

Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now

You better listen, darlin'

[Pre-Chorus]

Talk about a dream, try to make it real

You wake up in the night with a fear so real

You spend your life waitin' for a moment that just don't come

Well, don't waste your time waitin'

[Chorus]

Badlands, you gotta live it evеryday

The broken hearts stand as thе price you've gotta pay

Keep pushin' till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

[Verse 2]

Workin' in the fields till you get your back burned

Workin' 'neath the wheel till you get your facts learned

Honey, I got my facts learned real good right now

Are you listenin' to me, darlin?

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

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I believe in the love that you gave me

I believe in the faith that can save me

I believe in the hope and I pray that some day

It will raise me above these

[Chorus]

Badlands, live it everyday

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

We'll keep pushin' till it's understood

These badlands start treating us good

Whoa whoa

Whoa whoa

[Verse 3]

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 lookin' through me

I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these

[Chorus]

Badlands, gotta live it everyday

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

Keep pushin' till it's understood

These badlands start treating us good

[Outro]

Whoa, these badlands start treatin' us good

Oh oh oh
