Badlands - Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - 09/22/79
One, two
Light's out tonight, trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts, man
Caught in a crossfire 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
To 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 everyday
The broken hearts stand as the price you gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the field you gets your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheels get your facts learned
Baby, I got my facts learned real good right now
You better get it straight, darlin'
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied 'til he rules everything
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
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Woah-woah-woah-woah
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 pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Woah-woah-woah-woah, badlands
Woah-woah-woah-woah, badlands
Woah-woah-woah-woah, badlands
Woah-woah-woah-woah, badlands
Woah-woah-woah-woah
How you doin' tonight?
That's good. Me too
I'd like to do this next song for...
For John Hall and Graham Nash and Bonnie Raitt and Tom Campbell
They're the musicians who had the conviction, the energy to...
To put this together that we're doin' down here
And I did this for Jackson Browne and... and that little boy
Light's out tonight, trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts, man
Caught in a crossfire 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

You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come
Don't waste your time waiting
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
The broken hearts stand as the price you gotta pay
