Bruce Springsteen - Badlands lyrics

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

But there's one thing I know for sure

Girl, I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes

Baby, 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

You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come

Well don't waste your time waiting

Badlands, you gotta live it every day

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 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 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 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 every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

Keep pushin' till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

Awhoa whoa whoa whoa

[guitar instrumental]

[saxophone instrumental]

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

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, you gotta live it every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

Keep movin' till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

Awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, ahwoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, ahwoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, ahwoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands...

[till fade]
