lirik lagu steve earle - it's a hard life wherever you go
[verse 1]
i am a backseat driver from america
and they drive to the left on the falls road
and the man at the wheel’s name is seamus
we pass a child on the corner he knows
seamus says, “now what chance has that kid got?”
i say from the back, “i don’t know”
he says, “there’s barbed wire at all of these exits
there ain’t no place in belfast for that kid to go”
[chorus]
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
there ain’t no place in belfast for these kids to go
[verse 2]
cafeteria line in chicago
the fat man in front of me
is calling black people trash to his children
ah, he’s the only trash here i see
i’m thinking this man must wear a white hood
in the night when his children should sleep
but they slip to the window and they see him go out
and they think that that white hood is all that they need
[chorus]
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
there ain’t no place in chicago for these kids to go
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
well, i was a child in the sixties
and your dreams could be held through tv
with disney and cronkite and martin luther king
oh, i believed, i believed, i believed, i believed
now i am that backstreet driver from america
and i’m not at the wheel of control
i am guilty, i am war, i am the root of all evil
lord, and i can’t drive on the left side of the road
[chorus]
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
it’s a hard life, it’s a hard life, it’s a very hard life
it’s a hard life wherever you go
there ain’t no place for these kids to go
