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 |
