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

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

•(RIFF 1)
Put on a kind face

Between a rock
•(RIFF 1)
And a hard place
BREAK:
SOL
We're in the same boat
RE
On the same sea
FA
And we're sailing south
DO
On the same breeze
SOL
Guiding dream churches
RE
With silver spires
FA
And our rogue children
C (RIFF 1) -- 6x's
Are playing loaded dice
