Rock And A Hard Place Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock
And a hard place

[Verse 2]
This talk of freedom
And human rights
Means bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust into our eyes
And peasant people
Poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire ended nothing to lose but their shirts, yeah

[Chorus]
We're 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

[Verse 3]
We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
Building dream churches
With silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice

[Bridge]
You'd better stop, yeah [?]
Give me truth now
Don't want no shame
I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep
Just as well as a lamb

[Outro]
Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
Can't you see what you've done to me
Yeah! Come on now! yeah
Between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock
And a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
Between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock
And a hard place
