Badlands Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Badlands

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,
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,
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

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 someday it may raise me,
Above these badlands

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.

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

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.
