    Thank you James Gunn for putting one of my favorites songs of Bruce Springsteen in the best MCU Movie in a long time. What a farewell !

    Poor men want to be rich, rich men want to be king and the king an’t happy until he rules everything. What a powerful line 👏👏
  • “Badlands” is my second-favorite Bruce song. The line “Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king / and a king ain’t satisfied ‘till he rules everything” may be one of my favorite lyrics that start to sum up the collective mess that is modern day America.
  • I was pleasantly surprised during that credit roll. Great song to close out a great movie.
  • Bruce Springsteen is a literary genius, music aside the words can stand alone on their own. The man is an icon.

    This song hits differently the older you get.

    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 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 Yeah, are you listening to me baby? 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 Well don't waste your time waiting 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 fields 'Til you get your back burned Workin' 'neath the wheels 'Til you get your facts learned Baby I got my facts Learned real good right now You better get it straight girl Poor man want to be rich Rich man want to be king And a king ain't satisfied 'Til he rules everything I want to go out tonight I want to find out what I got But I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that can save me I believe in the hope And I pray that some day it may raise me Above these 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 Woah oh woah oh woah oh For the ones who had a notion A notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I want to find one face that ain't looking through me I want to find one place I want to spit in the face of these 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 Woah oh woah oh woah oh Badlands Woah oh woah oh woah oh Badlands Woah oh woah oh woah oh Badlands Woah oh woah oh woah oh Badlands Woah oh woah oh woah oh Badlands Woah oh woah oh woah oh Badlands

    I saw him live during his Working on a Dream Tour in Hartford, and he opened with Badlands. I swear, he did not sing a word of that song. The crowd did.

    When I was a sophomore in high school, my honors English teacher used this song as an example of modern existentialism.
