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
