Capo I 

    3x   
 
      
Lights out tonight                  
                                
Trouble in the heartland            
         
Got a head-on collision             
                   
Smashin' in my guts, man

    
I'm caught in a cross fire
                           
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
                       
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

Spend your life waiting 
                                
For a moment that- just- don't- come
                           
Well, don't waste your time waiting

                               
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
        
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
                     
Till you get your back burned

Workin' `neath the wheel
                      
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 everyday
        
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

               
Mmmmmmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmmm  4x

        
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 everyday
        
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

                 
Badlands, woh, oh, oh  5x
