Badlands Lyrics - Live: 1975-85 (3cd) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

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 

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 

Yeah, are you listening 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 fields 

'Til you get your back burned 

Workin' 'neath the wheels 

'Til you get your facts learned 

Baby I got my facts 

Learned real good right now 

You better get it straight girl 

Poor man want to be rich 

Rich man want to be king 

And a king ain't satisfied 

'Til he rules everything 

I want to go out tonight 

I want to find out what I got 

But I believe in the love that you gave me 

I believe in the faith that can 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 

We'll keep pushin' till it's understood 

And these badlands start treating us good 

Woah oh woah oh woah oh 

For the ones who had a notion 

A notion deep inside 

That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive 

I want to find one face that ain't looking through me 

I want to find one place 

I want to 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 

We'll keep pushin' till it's understood 

And these badlands start treating us good 

Woah oh woah oh woah oh 

Badlands 

Woah oh woah oh woah oh 

Badlands 

Woah oh woah oh woah oh 

Badlands 

Woah oh woah oh woah oh 

Badlands 

Woah oh woah oh woah oh 

Badlands 

Woah oh woah oh woah oh 

Badlands
