    Badlands

    Man, ever since the Springsteen concert, I can not get this song out of my head.  And why not?  It has EXCELLENT lyrics.  Read them please, I bolded what I thought was the best:

    Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland
    Got a head-on collision smashin' 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 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 every day
    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 field till you get your back burned
    Workin' `neath the wheels 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
    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 will raise me above these

    *Chorus

    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

    *Chorus


    Good no? 

    Jesus, that Springsteen concert was amazing.  AND! I got to see Jon Bon Jovi.  How cool?  Well, if you like Bon Jovi anyways XD
