Bruce Springsteen - Badlands Lyrics
Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland.Got a head-on collision, smashin in my guts man.Im caught in a crossfire that I dont understand.But theres one thing I know for sure girl:I dont give a damn for the same old played out scenesI dont 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 dont come.Well dont waste your time waitingBadlands you gotta live it every dayLet the broken hearts standAs the price youve gotta payWell keep pushin till its understoodAnd these badlands start treating us goodWorkin in the field till you get your back burnedWorkin `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 men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings,And a king aint satisfied till he rules everything.I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got.Now 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 itWill raise me above theseBadlands...For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep insideThat it aint no sin to be glad youre alive.I wanna find one face that aint looking through meI wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of theseBadlands...
