Lights out tonight

Trouble in the heartland

Got a head-on collision

Smashin' in my guts, man

I'm caught in a cross fire

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

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

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday

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

Till you get your back burned

Workin' `neath the wheel

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

Well I believe in the love that you gave me

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

Mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm

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
