Badlands (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - June/July 2000)

[Intro]
One, two

[Verse 1]
Oh, lights out tonight
Trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
Mashin' in my guts, man
Caught in a crossfire
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
And 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
Let the brokеn hearts stand
As the price you'vе gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good

[Verse 2]
Workin' in the field
’Til you get your back burned
Workin’ 'neath the wheels
’Til you get your facts learned
Baby, I got my facts
Learned real good right now
Get it straight!
Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
'Til he rules everything
Wanna go out tonight
Wanna find out what I got

[Pre-Chorus]
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 someday it may raise me
Above these

[Chorus]
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
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, yeah

[Guitar & Saxophone Solos]

[Verse 3]
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 lookin' through me
Wanna find one place
I wanna spit in the face of these

[Chorus]
Badlands, you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good

[Outro]
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Badlands, woah, woah, woah, woah
Badlands, woah, woah, woah, woah
Badlands, woah, woah, woah, woah
Badlands, woah, woah, woah, woah
