text: Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland
  Got a head-on collision smashin in my guts man
  Im caught in a crossfire that I dont understand
  But theres one thing I know for sure I dont give a damn
  For the same old played out scenes I dont 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 dont come
  Well dont waste your time waiting
  Badlands you gotta live it every day
  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 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 aint 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 will raise me above these
  Badlands...
  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...
