Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The fields of Eden are full of trash
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 beggin' 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 are chuckin' all the dust into our eyes
A peasant people, poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire and got nothing to lose but their shirt
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
Building dream churches
With the silver spires
And our rogue children
Play loaded dice
[Chorus]
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Yeah, get a load of this
[Verse 3]
Give me the truth now
Don't want no sham
I'd be hung, drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lamb
[Chorus]
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
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?
[Chorus]
Between a rock and a hard place (That's what I said)
Between a rock and a hard place (Yeah)
You'd better stop (Stop, yeah, you'd better stop)
Put on a kind face
[Chorus]
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
