A Gentle Place |
Rolling Stones |
Miscellaneous |
ROCK IN A HARD PLACE |
(M. Jagger/K. Richards) |
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 |
We’re 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 |
Guiding dream churches |
With silver spires |
And our rogue children |
Are playing loaded dice |
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 |
