Badlands

(If nothing happens)

He’s got his pistol
Pointing at the sun
He’s gonna turn the lights
out on everyone
Somebody stop him
Before it’s too late
He makes a run now
Heading to the gate

If nothing happens
Then no one is harmed
If something does
There’s no cause for alarm
When pushed to a wall
Any man will break
There is a limit to
what a good man will take

She’s got a book
That she took from a mosque
She has never sinned
But’s been told what it costs
She fears the devil
And the dungeon below
But now she’s helpless
And has no where to go

If nothing happens
Then no one is harmed
If something does
There’s no cause for alarm
When pushed to a wall
Any man will break
There is a limit to
what a good man will take

He shoots his gun
And she liked it much
She tagged along
A hostage as such
They shot them dead
When they ran out of gas
For a moment they were free
And that moment was their last

If nothing happens
Then no one is harmed
If something does
There’s no cause for alarm
When pushed to a wall
Any man will break
There is a limit to
what a good man will take
