| Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| Well I believe in the love that you gave me | |
| 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 | |
| (Chorus) |
