Verse

The fields of Eden • (RIFF 2) Are full of trash • (RIFF 2) And if we beg and we borrow and steal • (RIFF 2) We`ll never get it back • (RIFF 2) People are hungry • (RIFF 2) They crowd around • (RIFF 2) And the city • (RIFF 2) Gets bigger as the country comes begging to town • (RIFF 2)

Chorus

Stuck between a rock • (RIFF 1) •(RIFF 1) And a hard place •(RIFF 1) Between a rock •(RIFF 1) ••(RIFF 2) -- 2x`s And a hard place

Verse

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

Chorus

Stuck between a rock And a hard place Between a rock And a hard place •(RIFF 1) You`d better stop •(RIFF 1) Put on a kind face •(RIFF 1) Between a rock •(RIFF 1) And a hard place

BREAK: 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 C (RIFF 1) -- 6x`s Are playing loaded dice

Chorus

..... You`d better stop

Give me the truth now } NOTE: Don`t want no sham } THIS PART MOSTLY I`d be hung } SUNG WITH DRUMS Drawn and quartered for a sheep } PLAYING. As well as a lamb }

Chorus
