The Rolling Stones Rock And A Hard Place (album Steel Wheels 1989) Lyrics

(m. jagger/k. richards)

The fields of eden
Are full of trash
And if we beg and we borrow and steal
Well never get it back
People are hungry
They crowd around
And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town

Were 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

Youd better stop put on a kind face
Between a rock and a hard place

Were in the same boat
On the same sea
And were sailing south
On the same breeze
Guiding dream churches
With silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice

Give me truth now
Dont want no sham
Id 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
Youd better stop
Put on a kind face
Cant you see what youve done to me
