Bruce Springsteen – Badlands – Live In New York City

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

mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm

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

CHORUS

    ‘Live’ Badlands has evolved over the years from a rousing opener during the Darkness Tour to an anthemic all out band, Bruce, audience smack down.

    God bless the big man Clarence Clemens. May he play on and on up there. Rest in peace big man. You will be missed very much by all of us out there, especially in Philly, and Jersey people the most. Bruce keep going on and thank you for over 30 yrs of excellent music and happiness. From a fan since you started at the stone pony, the main point in Philly and the electric factory. But the stone pony the most. Thanks again.
