INTRO:  RIFF 1 -- 4x's 
 
 
VERSE:                     
       The fields of Eden • (RIFF 2) 
       Are full of trash  • (RIFF 2) 
       And if we beg and we borrow and steal • (RIFF 2) 
       We'll never get it back • (RIFF 2) 
       People are hungry • (RIFF 2) 
       They crowd around • (RIFF 2) 
       And the city • (RIFF 2) 
       Gets bigger as the country comes begging to town • (RIFF 2) 
 
 
Chorus: 
       Stuck between a rock • (RIFF 1) 
                •(RIFF 1) 
       And a hard place 
                     •(RIFF 1) 
       Between a rock 
                •(RIFF 1)         ••(RIFF 2) -- 2x's 
       And a hard place 
 
 
VERSE: 
       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 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
       Stuck between a rock 
       And a hard place 
       Between a rock 
       And a hard place 
                       •(RIFF 1) 
       You'd better stop 
                   •(RIFF 1) 
       Put on a kind face 
                     •(RIFF 1) 
       Between a rock 
                 •(RIFF 1) 
       And a hard place 
 
 
BREAK: 
      G 
       We're in the same boat 
      D 
       On the same sea 
      F 
       And we're sailing south 
      C 
       On the same breeze 
      G 
       Guiding dream churches 
      D 
       With silver spires 
      F 
       And our rogue children       
      C                             (RIFF 1) -- 6x's     
       Are playing loaded dice 
 
 
Chorus: 
   
 
                 ..... You'd better stop 
 
 
       Give me the truth now            }  NOTE: 
       Don't want no sham               }       THIS PART MOSTLY  
       I'd be hung                      }       SUNG WITH DRUMS 
       Drawn and quartered for a sheep  }       PLAYING. 
       As well as a lamb                }
