BulletBoys
BulletBoys is an American hard rock group formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1986. The group's original lineup was composed of former Ratt and Kagny and the Dirty Rats guitarist/King Kobra lead vocalist Marq Torien (vocals), former King Kobra guitarist Mick Sweda, Lonnie Vencent (bass) and Jimmy D'Anda (drums, percussion). The group released two successful albums and had a number of singles featured on MTV between 1988 and 1991. From the 1990s onward, the group went through numerous lineup changes, with the exception of Torien who remained the only consistent member, which featured musicians such as Steven Adler (ex Guns N' Roses, later of Adler's Appetite) and DJ Ashba (ex Beautiful Creatures, Sixx:A.M. and Guns N' Roses) among others. The original band reunited for one show in December of 2011.
To date, the band has released eight studio albums, BulletBoys (1988); Freakshow (1991); Za-Za (1993); Acid Monkey (1995); Sophie (2003); 10c Billionaire (2009), Rocked and Ripped (2011), and Elefanté (2015), as well as the live album Behind the Orange Curtain (2007).

Badlands
by: BulletboysThe neon streets are empty
And moon's my only light
Running in from the shadows
But there's no running from the fight
We'll find no pity for you city fools
Where the shotgun makes the rules
In the Badlands
There's a bad moon shining down
Badlands [(Badlands)]
Honey, we don't fool around
Well, your mama can't protect you
And you're the apple of her eye
When the strange, hanging blues come to ya
It's time to do or die
It doesn't matter which is quicker
Cyanide or sweet, sweet liquor
In the Badlands
There's a bad moon shining down
Badlands [(Badlands)]
Ooh, honey, we don't fool around
I'm in the Badlands [(Badlands)]
I don't know who I am
Badlands [(Badlands)]
You're really finding all you can
It doesn't matter which is quicker
Cyanide or sweet, sweet liquor
In the Badlands
In the Badlands [(Badlands)]
Dead moon from the south
Badlands [(Badlands)]
Ooh, honey, we don't fuck around
I'm in the Badlands [(Badlands)]
Badlands [(Badlands)]
B-b-b-b-b-badlands [(Badlands)]
Badlands, ooh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
