Rock and a Hard Place Lyrics by Groovy Waters

Bossa N’ Stones 3

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock
And a hard place
[Verse 2]
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 ended nothing to lose but their shirts
That's right
[Chorus]
We're 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
You'd better stop
Come on down with me, oh yeah
Give me truth now
Don't want no shame
I'd be hung, drawn, and quartered for a sheep
Just as well as a lamb
[Outro]
Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
Ooh yeah
Can't you see what you've done to me
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
Whoo!
[Outro]
Try to see what you're doing to me
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock
[Audience Applause]
[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
[Speaks Japanese]
