Rolling Stones - Rock And A Hard Place

Rolling Stones - Rock And A Hard Place

 The fields of Eden

 Are full of trash

 And if we beg and we borrow and steal

 We'll never get it back

 People are hungry

 They crowd around

 And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town

 We're stuck between a rock

 And a hard place

 Between a rock and a hard place

 This talk of freedom

 And human rights

 Means bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust into oureyes

 And peasant people

 Poorer than dirt

 Who are caught in the crossfire with nothing to lose but theirshirts

 Stuck between a rock

 And a hard place

 Between a rock and a hard place

 You'd better stop put on a kind face

 Between a rock and a hard place

 We're in the same boat

 On the same sea

 And we're sailing south

 On the same breeze

 Guiding dream churches

 With silver spires

 And our rogue children

 Are playing loaded dice

 Give me truth now

 Don't want no sham

 I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lamb

 Stuck between a rock

 And a hard place

 Between a rock and a hard place

 You'd better stop

 Put on a kind face

 Can't you see what you've done to me
