[Intro]
Three, four

[Verse 1]
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
And 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

[Pre-Chorus]
And talk about a dream, you 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 waitin'

[Chorus]
Badlands, you gotta live it еvery day
Let the brokеn hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
And these badlands start treatin' us good

[Verse 2]
Workin' in the fields 'til you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheels 'til you get your facts learned
Hey baby, I got my facts learned real good right now
Better get it straight, darling
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be kings
And a king ain't satisfied 'til he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight, wanna find out what I've got
[Pre-Chorus]
Now 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 someday it will raise me above these

[Chorus]
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
And these badlands start treatin' us good

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah

[Verse 3]
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
There 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
[Chorus]
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
The broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay
Well, keep pushin' 'til it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good

[Outro]
Woah, woah, woah
Badlands, woah woah woah
Badlands, woah woah woah
Badlands, woah woah woah
Badlands, woah woah woah woah
