Rock and a Hard Place Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 The fields of Eden

2 Are full of trash

3 If we beg and we borrow and steal

4 We'll never get it back

5 People are hungry

6 They crowd around

7 And the city gets bigger

8 As the country comes begging to town

9 We're stuck between a rock

10 And a hard place

11 Between a rock

12 And a hard place

13 This talk of freedom

14 And human rights

15 Means bullying and private wars

16 And chucking all the dust into our eyes

17 And peasant people

18 Poorer than dirt

19 Who are caught in the crossfire

20 And with nothing to lose but their shirts, yeah

21 We're stuck between a rock

22 And a hard place

23 Between a rock

24 And a hard place

25 You'd better stop

26 Put on a kind face

27 Between a rock, yeah

28 And a hard place

29 We're in the same boat

30 On the same sea

31 And we're sailing south

32 On the same breeze

33 Guiding dream churches

34 With silver spires

35 And our rogue children

36 Are playing loaded dice

37 ''(Between a rock)

38 (And a hard place)

39 (You'd better stop)''

40 Give me truth now

41 Don't want no sham

42 I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep

43 Just as well as a lamb

44 Stuck between a rock

45 And a hard place

46 A rock

47 And a hard place

48 You'd better stop

49 Put on a kind face

50 Can't you see

51 What you've done to me?

52 Between a rock ''(that's what I said)''

53 And a hard place

54 You'd better stop

55 Put on a kind face

56 Yeah, c'mon now

57 Yeah

58 Between a rock and a hard place

59 Between a rock and a hard place

60 You'd better stop, put on a kind face

61 Between a rock and a hard place

62 Between a rock and a hard place
