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 }
CHORUS:
