text: Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland
  Got a head-on collision smashin in my guts, man
  Im caught in a cross fire that I dont understand
  But theres one thing I know for sure girl
  I dont give a damn for the same old played out scenes
  Baby I dont 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 dont come
  Well, dont waste your time waiting
  Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
  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 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 aint 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 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 everyday
  Let the broken hearts stand as the price youve gotta pay
  Well keep pushin till its understood
  And these badlands start treating us good
  For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
  That it aint no sin to be glad youre alive
  I wanna find one face that aint looking through me
  I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these
  Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
  Let the broken hearts stand as the price youve gotta pay
  Keep movin till its understood
  And these badlands start treating us good
  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
  Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
  Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
  Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
  Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
  Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
