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
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
[Chorus:]
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 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
[Chorus:]
Mmm, mmm, mmm
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
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 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 [Chorus:] 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 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 [Chorus:] Mmm, mmm, mmm 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 Explain Request ×
