Lyrics:
The fields of Eden Are full of trash Well, 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 (yeah) 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 ain't nothin' To lose but their shirts, yeah
Stuck between a rock And a hard place Between a rock and a hard place You'd better stop, (you better stop) put on a kind face Between a rock (yeah) and a hard place
We're in the same boat On the same sea And we're sailing south On the same breeze Building dream churches With silver spires And our rogue children Are playing loaded dice
You'd better stop Yeah, get a load of that Give me the truth now Don't want no shame I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep Just as a well as a lamb
Stuck between a rock And a hard place A rock and a hard place You'd better stop Put on a kind face, yeah ?Can't you see what you've done to me
Yeah, c'mon now Yeah Between a rock And a hard place Between a rock And a hard place You better stop Put on a kind face
You better stop Put on a kind face Between a rock And a hard place Between a rock Ooh And a hard place
