ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

The fields of Eden Are full of trash And it we beg and we borrow and steal We'll never get it back People are hungry They crowd around And the city gets biggar as the Country comes begging to town 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 our eyes And peasant people Poorer than dirt Who are caught in the crossfire With nothing to lose but their shirts 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 Building dream churches With silver spires And our rogue children Are playing loaded dice Between a rock and a hard place You'd better stop… 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…
