Badlands - Live at Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ - November 1980
One, two
Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision smashing in my guts, man
I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure
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
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come
Don't waste your time waiting
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushing 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Working in the field 'til you get your back burned
Working 'neath the wheels 'til 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 til' 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 it may raise me above these
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushing 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
Wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
Wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushing 'til 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
Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision smashing in my guts, man
I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure
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
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come
Don't waste your time waiting
