Rock And A Hard Place

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)The fields of EdenAre full of trashAnd if we beg and we borrow and stealWe'll never get it backPeople are hungryThey crowd aroundAnd the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to townWe're stuck between a rockAnd a hard placeBetween a rock and a hard placeThis talk of freedomAnd human rightsMeans bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust into our eyesAnd peasant peoplePoorer than dirtWho are caught in the crossfire with nothing to lose but their shirtsStuck between a rockAnd a hard placeBetween a rock and a hard placeYou'd better stop put on a kind faceBetween a rock and a hard placeWe're in the same boatOn the same seaAnd we're sailing southOn the same breezeGuiding dream churchesWith silver spiresAnd our rogue childrenAre playing loaded diceGive me truth nowDon't want no shamI'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lambStuck between a rockAnd a hard placeBetween a rock and a hard placeYou'd better stopPut on a kind faceCan't you see what you've done to me
