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 ain't satisfied
For the same old played out scenes baby I ain't satisfied
For just the in-betweens honey I want the heart I want the soul
I want control right now, listen to me baby
Man talks about a dream, try's to make it real
You end up screamin' in the night with a fear so real
Man on the TV, promisin' a peace that don't come*
Well don't waste your time trying
Badlands baby don't lie
??? on working, wants to die
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
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 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
Mmmmmmmmm
Baby don't cry now ??? tears
Don't cry now
???
???
???
??? Don't let go
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 tear your little world apart
??? deep down in your heart
Keep movin' till it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Awhoa whoa whoa
Badlands awhoa whoa whoa whoa
Badlands awhoa whoa whoa whoa
Badlands ahwoa whoa whoa whoa
Badlands ahwoa whoa whoa whoa
