The fields of Eden • (RIFF 2)

We'll never get it back • (RIFF 2)

And a hard place

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

Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock
And a hard place

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:
