歌曲歌詞
I am a backseat driver from
AmericaThey drive on the left on falls road
The man at the wheel's name is
ShamusWe pass a child on the corner he knows
And Shamus says, "Now what chance has that kid got?"
And I say from the back, "I don't know"
He says, "There's barbed wire at all these exitsAnd there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go"
It's a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
If we poison our children with hatred
Then, the hard life is all that they'll know
And there ain't no place in
Belfast for that kid to go
A cafeteria line in
ChicagoThe fat man in front of me
Is calling black people trash to his children
And he's the only trash here
I seeAnd I'm thinking this man wears a white hood
In the night when the children should sleep
But, they'll slip to their window and they'll see him
And they'll think that white hood's all they need
It's a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
If we poison our children with hatred
