Badlands -

It grows like a bad seed

And brings pain and confusion like there’s no other state of mind

I am always somewhere in between

Badlands deep in my heart

They’ve made me judge and criticize before I came to realize

That changes must start from a place within

Wide awake and on the run

You want a remedy to knock you out

Gonna say you’re out of luck

You ask your enemy to shoot you down

To shoot you down

Don’t stop, cause comfort kills

You may not see the subtle signs which everyday and every hour

Tell us not to try, but to stand still

Wide awake and on the run

You want a remedy to knock you out

Gonna say you’re out of luck

You ask your enemy to shoot you down

To shoot you down

Now the clear break of dawn comes to shake my twisted thoughts

Couldn’t breath, couldn’t talk, couldn’t find a way to move on

Am I still dead and gone, am I right or wrong?

Wide awake and on the run

You want a remedy to knock you out

Gonna say you’re out of luck

You ask your enemy to shoot you down

To shoot you down
