Rolling Stones, The - Rock And A Hard Place Lyrics

Keith and Ronnie guitars are amazing dear me .Stones damn good what a sound.

Like John Lennon said: "I like their funky music". xD

what a song totally underrated its a masterpiece in my book

vle176 Maria your insane. Suck it up buttercup. Bad Ass Etword

Only Stones video to go to number one on MTV with a top 20 run of 15-10-7-5-4-2-1-7-11-18. Harlem Shuffle came close at number 2 and Mixed Emotions and Love Is Strong peaked at 5.

Had a dream about this song the other night. First time I've heard it in probably 30 years. Great song, gave my day a needed kick in the ass! Thanks!

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

We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place

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
You'd better stop put on a kind face
Between a rock and a hard place

We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
Guiding dream churches
With silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice
You better stop
Give me truth now
Don't want no sham
I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lamb

Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face
Can't you see what you've done to me

One of my favorite songs by them. the beat kicks ass. the 80s feel of the Stones was a great time. Then music was simple good rock!

2019 and these guys are still rocking. I count myself among the lucky people to have grown older with them.

The Stone's rock 👍👍👍

good work,

My absolute favourite song from the greatest band in the world and I got to see them do this song in concert. Eric Clapton, Tina Turner and Bob Seger are not far behind.

BEST ROLLING STONES SONG EVER!! A VERY CATCHY JINGLE FROM THE ROLLING STONES!! THANX FOR THIS GREAT ONE!!

A brilliant song. Love the drums and the riff is amazing. Great energy. Still loving as much as always in 2019! 🎸

PRAYERS AND POSITIVE HEALING VIBES TO YOU MICK! Please just Relax, Recover, Be Well and Namaste.

shiit video. cant see shiit

Very little of Bill, I notice. Probably couldn't pull himself away from his constantly-high-as-fuck nineteen-year old wife. Not even joking, guys...

Imádom ezt a dalt 14 eves korom óta. Valaki meg...?!

Accuradio app plays it daily!

The question stands as to why you won't play this song and all of them in a concert for freedom?

Some of the Stone's best songs were of the protest genre. And, yes, they don't do much of them at their live concerts. However, they always do "Sympathy for The Devil"...which can be considered a protest song.

Rubbing elbows, with TRUMP, = DAMNATION!

Inoxidables frente a tanta bosta que se escucha hoy en pleno 2018

2018!
Temazo
Argentina😎

Dieta de la palta sigue mick antiage

😍👌🎸🎤

Rolling Stines. Rock a hard,,nice

Lady Julie B. Daltrey, 07/30/2018, JEBD

We think of the stones as old men back then but they were still only in there 40's

Solid album

That guitar riff sounds similar to one in the song Word Up! by Cameo which came out in '86

Gratos recuerdos de los rolling inicios de los 90

I love the Stones - awesome band and they have proven themselves without a single doubt to be the very best rock band ever - Thanks guys for being with me my entire life - 55 years and still counting!!!

Today, I said, I want rock . This was the first song comes to my mind

Buenisima cancion.

Dont know how much more these guys can keep kickin out before somebody breaks a hip on stage.

Benjamin Lucas Legends Live Forever

mick's hair is too short.

MICKS HAIR IS TOO LONG.

Raaaaackkkkkkkkkkkk

Dana Hawks seen this live love the words the stage set was big an awesome it was freaking the best love the rolling stones

Quantum Physics!

Steel Wheels - one of best stones albums

piedras rodantes!!.. wena!!..

I tried but I just don’t like this kinda music, it’s relevant I’ll give it that

The intro sounds like "Hurts so good" by John Mellencamp

This was essentially the "reuniting"of the band-even though records were made, 81-89 the Rolling Stones future was a big question. This record, to me, is like really the last big one for the band. A big Rolling Stones album. With lots of potential "hits." They have their moments now, but this was it as far as radio play, etc. A fantastic stage set-probably their best. They could have wrapped it up with this one. The aging of the band is O.K. but the last tour at Desert Trip was NOT a Rolling Stones concert-chicks taking off their tops and joints passed around. Now it's SUV's and sit in your seats. Sorry, yuk.

This is where the 80s ended and 90s began

how I'm feeling right now. Stuck in the middle of my parents divorce FFS

From and including: Thursday, April 11, 2013

Moves like Jagger...

estamos en el mismo bote ,en el mismo mar..

LOVE this song

un tema para esos rockeros de corazon el rock sera eterno en el nombre del rock lo mejor

To the young people lost in the Oakland warehouse fire and cover up that ensues. Well and truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I guess it's just more "weird scenes inside the Goldmine" ?

All about war and greed. They nailed it.

YEAH WAR & GREED ON THIS SIDE OF THE RIVER.

Well, we got a good song out of it

City gets bigger as the country comes beggin to town.

Were would rocks be? Ofcourse at a hard place!! 😊😊

Putain merde a chaque fois je confond Porno et promo

The sublime English gentlemen who never fail to make you smile when you hear one of their songs. The strange thing is,they seem to be happier playing together now than they have been for years. Please God let them be around just a little longer,as fifty years plus has flown by and they're probably still one of the greatest live acts I've ever seen. Come back and do some gigs in England please fellas!

Greatest rock and roll band ever !

nobody can disagree with that

Yup. Kool profile picture btw

it even reflects on whats happening know whith there private wars on chucking dust in to our eyes

Between a rock....and a cliche'

The secret behind the rock and roll spirit is actually the high levels of electricity generated at concerts as high levels of electricity penetrate the skull and enter brain tissue.

Ronnie Wood is the Rolling Stones secret weapon.

Elena, Honey oh Honey

¡Wow! I don't know this song, but when I listened it, I liked it too much. Great song of the best rock and roll band of all the world.

класс!!!

this video is going to give me a seizure with all the flashing lyrics and graphics

Just heard this on XM...........so long since I heard it. Stones still knew how to crank out jive rock n roll in the late 80s. Despite all the stuff that happened over the years, the Stones are instrumental to what we listen today.........before there was Plant or Bono, there was Mick!!!!

fligemon 👌🏼👌🏼

Great song, unfortunately it gets more true all the time, I remember traveling to East Coast and the Midwest US when capitalist globalization and the trashing of economy's were just getting thier traction throughout the 1980s, big recession.. that was the birth of what we got now..

Rock on!!

I was sad today and this was the first song I thought of 😬

This was the Rolling Stones of my high school years.

way to go dear-and I don;t mean it as an insult

Same here, this is a great song

I had A Bigger Bang to get me thru my high school years 😒

No Songwriting Duo will EVER top Mick + Keith!

i agree

James M This was round 88/89, i think their managers wrote 50%. And their lawyers... 5-10% sometimes... xcept a couple Songs by wives: "Keith WAKE UP! i GOTTA riff! durdaum taraa dam na niaonao" "uuh oooh you bitch stop shakin my big sofa".

on the behalf of my planet...I would like to nominate

Elton John and Bernie Taupin

"I was always very respectful about Mick and the Stones, but he said a lot of sort of tarty things about the Beatles, which I am hurt by, because you know, I can knock the Beatles, but don't let Mick Jagger knock them. I would like to just list what we did and what the Stones did two months after on every fuckin' album. Every fuckin' thing we did, Mick does exactly the same – he imitates us. And I would like one of you fuckin' underground people to point it out, you know Satanic Majesties is Pepper, "We Love You", it's the most fuckin' bullshit, that's "All You Need Is Love". I resent the implication that the Stones are like revolutionaries and that the Beatles weren't. If the Stones were or are, the Beatles really were too. But they are not in the same class, music-wise or power-wise, never were. I never said anything, I always admired them, because I like their funky music and I like their style. I like rock and roll and the direction they took after they got over trying to imitate us, you know, but he's even going to do Apple now. He's going to do the same thing". ~ John Lennon - well that's mean NO They didn't.

One of the best RS songs. I don't know why they don't play it live, just like She's a Rainbow or Mixed Emotions.

+Thebestbuddy1986 This is a really great track to play live!

+José Aquino Should definitely be played live, just like Mixed Emotions, Anybody Seen My Baby or Don't Stop.

+Thebestbuddy1986 Last time they did it was in Voodoo Lounge Tour 95-96

Thebestbuddy1 986

Un tema increíble.

listening to this while playing malphite:)

Randy I agree. This song is so appropriate for my year so far. At least I have awesome tunes to listen to. Stones are the best

3.50 Ron Wood get angry with Richards

Great !!

Wyman and Watts sooo look like they'd rather be anywhere else than there.

@chris walton As usual, they often look very serious, though I've seen Watts smile in concerts and some videos, but can't say the same about Wyman. Still, great kick-ass bass playing.

my man mick you go boy!
