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   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   Spend your life waiting   for a moment that just don't come   Well, don't waste your time waiting      (Chorus)   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      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      (Chorus)      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
