It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]

I am a backseat driver from America[00:00:19]

They drive on the left on falls road[00:00:24]

The man at the wheel's name is Shamus[00:00:28]

We pass a child on the corner he knows[00:00:33]

And Shamus says "Now what chance has that kid got "[00:00:38]

And I say from the back "I don't know"[00:00:43]

He says "There's barbed wire at all these exits[00:00:47]

And there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go"[00:00:52]

It's a hard life it's a hard life[00:00:57]

It's a very hard life[00:00:59]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:01:02]

If we poison our children with hatred[00:01:06]

Then the hard life is all that they'll know[00:01:11]

And there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go[00:01:16]

A cafeteria line in Chicago[00:01:25]

The fat man in front of me[00:01:30]

Is calling black people trash to his children[00:01:35]

And he's the only trash here I see[00:01:40]

And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood[00:01:44]

In the night when the children should sleep[00:01:49]

But they'll slip to their window and they'll see him[00:01:54]

And they'll think that white hood's all they need[00:01:59]

It's a hard life it's a hard life[00:02:04]

It's a very hard life[00:02:06]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:02:09]

If we poison our children with hatred[00:02:13]

Then the hard life is all that they'll know[00:02:18]

And there ain't no place in Chicago for those kids to go[00:02:23]

I was a child in the sixties[00:02:47]

Dreams could be held through TV[00:02:52]

With Disney and Cronkite and martin Luther[00:02:56]

And I believed I believed I believed[00:03:01]

Now I am the backstreet driver from America[00:03:06]

I am not at the wheel of control[00:03:11]

I am guilty I am war I am the root of all evil[00:03:15]

Lord I can't drive on the left side of the road[00:03:20]

It's a hard life it's a hard life[00:03:25]

It's a very hard life[00:03:28]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:03:30]

If we poison our children with hatred[00:03:35]

Then the hard life is all that they'll know[00:03:40]

And there ain't no place in this world for these kids to go[00:03:45]

It's a hard life wherever you go[00:03:49]
