Badlands - Laos

Looking down the long barrel of a 45

See his whole life in a moment

Go flashing by

He's still alive

He's ready to fight

He's still standing tall

With a will to survive

It seems like forever

The seconds go by

Sweat on his brow and the sun in his eye

He's still alive

He needs to be strong

In the deafening silence there's a loud ricochet

In the badlands oh

You only need a gun to survive

In the badlands oh

Only the strong will survive

There's another face down in the burning sand

Spent a whole life in a moment a winning hand

He's still alive

To fight another day

And that's all he knows for him there's no other way

With a price on his head

With a gun at his side

The chamber is empty

There's nothing inside

He's still alive

Ready to fall

The man with no name

No feelings at all

In the badlands oh

You only need a gun to survive

In the badlands oh

You only need a gun to survive

And only the strong will survive

He's still alive

He's ready to fight

And that's all he knows

For him there's no other way

In the badlands oh

You only need a gun to survive

In the badlands oh

You only need a gun

In the badlands oh

You only need a gun to survive

In the badlands oh

You only need a gun to survive

And only the strong will survive
