Lyrics

0:17Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland
0:21Got a head-on collision smashin in my guts man
0:25I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand
0:30But theres one thing I know for sure girl:
0:33I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes
0:37I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens
0:41Honey I want the heart I want the soul I want control right now
0:46You better listen to me baby:
0:48Talk about a dream; try to make it real
0:52You wake up in the night with a fear so real
0:56You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come
1:01Well don't waste your time waiting
1:04Badlands you gotta live it every day
1:08Let the broken hearts stand
1:10As the price youve gotta pay
1:11Well keep pushin till its understood
1:14And these badlands start treating us good
1:19Workin in the field till you get your back burned
1:23Workin 'neath the wheels till you get your facts learned
1:27Baby I got my facts learned real good right now
1:33You better get it straight darling:
1:35Poor men wanna be rich rich men wanna be kings
1:39And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything
1:43I wanna go out tonight I wanna find out what I got
1:50Now I believe in the love that you gave me
1:55I believe in the faith that could save me
1:58I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it
2:03Will raise me above these
2:07Badlands
3:09For the ones who had a notion a notion deep inside
3:13That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
3:17I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
3:21I wanna find one place I wanna spit in the face of these
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 theres one thing I know for sure girl:
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
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 youve gotta pay
Well keep pushin till its 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 men wanna be rich  rich men wanna be kings
And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight  I wanna find out what I got
Now 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
Will raise me above these
Badlands
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
