Lights out tonight
Trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
Smashin´ in my guts man
I´m caught in a crossfire
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

CHORUS:

Badlands, you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you´ve gotta pay
We´ll 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
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 some day it may raise me
Above these badlands

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
