  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:
  
  FADE OUT:
