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 | |
Then, the hard life is all that they'll know | |
And there ain't no place in | |
Chicago for those kids to go | |
I was a child in the sixties | |
Dreams could be held through | |
TVWith Disney and | |
Cronkite and martin | |
LutherAnd, | |
I believed, | |
I believed, | |
I believed | |
Now, I am the backstreet driver from | |
AmericaI am not at the wheel of control | |
I am guilty, | |
I am war, | |
I am the root of all evil | |
Lord, I can't drive on the left side of the road | |
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 this world for these kids to go |
