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
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WAITING

BADLANDS YOU GOTTA LIVE IT EVERY DAY
LET THE BROKEN HEARTS STAND AS THE PRICE YOU GOTTA PAY
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 WHEELS TILL YOU GET YOUR FACTS LEARNED
BABY I GOT MY FACTS LEARNED REAL GOOD RIGHT NOW
YOU BETTER GET IT STRAIGHT DARLIN
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
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

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 LOOKIN THROUGH ME
I WANNA FIND ONE PLACE I WANNA SPIT IN THE FACE OF THESE BADLANDS
