Bruce Springsteen – Badlands: Lyrics and Music Video
Badlands Lyrics
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
Baby, 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
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 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
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
Keep movin’ till it’s understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Badlands, whoa whoa whoa whoa

Be True
Your scrapbooks filled with pictures of all your leading men Well baby don’t put my picture in there with them Dont make us some little girls dream that can’t ever come true That only serves to hurt…
