《It’s a Hard Life Wherever You Go》歌词

[00:00:00] It's a Hard Life Wherever You Go - Irish Music Players

[00:00:16] I am a backseat driver from America

[00:00:21] They drive to the left on falls road

[00:00:25] The man at the wheel's name is Shamus

[00:00:29] Pass a child on the corner he knows

[00:00:33] Shamus says

[00:00:34] Now what chance has that kid got

[00:00:37] And I say from the back

[00:00:39] I don't know

[00:00:41] He says

[00:00:41] There's barbed wire at all these exits

[00:00:45] There ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go

[00:00:50] It's a hard life hard life

[00:00:52] It's a very hard life

[00:00:54] It's a hard life wherever you go

[00:00:58] If we poison our children with hatred

[00:01:02] Then the hard life is all that they'll know

[00:01:06] And there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go

[00:01:19] A cafeteria line in Chicago

[00:01:23] The fat man in front of me

[00:01:27] Is calling black people trash to his children

[00:01:32] And he's the only trash here I see

[00:01:36] And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood

[00:01:40] In the night when the children should sleep

[00:01:44] But they'll slip to their window and they'll see him

[00:01:48] And they'll think that white hood's all they need

[00:01:52] It's a hard life hard life

[00:01:55] It's a very hard life

[00:01:57] It's a hard life wherever you go

[00:02:01] If we poison our children with hatred

[00:02:05] Then the hard life is all that they'll know

[00:02:09] And there ain't no place in Chicago for those kids to go

[00:02:56] I was a child in the sixties

[00:03:00] Dreams could be held through TV

[00:03:04] With Disney and Cronkite and martin Luther

[00:03:08] And I believed I believed I believed

[00:03:12] Now I am the backstreet driver from America

[00:03:16] I am not at the wheel of control

[00:03:20] I am guilty I am war I am the root of all evil

[00:03:25] Lord I can't drive on the left side of the road

[00:03:29] It's a hard life hard life

[00:03:31] It's a very hard life

[00:03:33] It's a hard life wherever you go

[00:03:37] If we poison our children with hatred

[00:03:41] Then the hard life is all that they'll know

[00:03:45] It's a hard life hard life

[00:03:48] It's a very hard life

[00:03:50] It's a hard life wherever you go

[00:03:54] If we poison our children with hatred

[00:03:58] Then the hard life is all that they'll know

[00:04:02] And there ain't no place in this world for

[00:04:04] These kids to go
