It's A Hard Life (Wherever You Go) (LP Version) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]
I am a backseat driver from America[00:00:41]
They drive to the left on falls road[00:00:46]
The man at the wheel's name is seamus[00:00:51]
We pass a child on the corner he knows[00:00:55]
And seamus says now what chance has that[00:01:00]
Kid got[00:01:03]
And I say from the back I don't know[00:01:05]
He says there's barbed wire at all of these exits[00:01:09]
Ain't no place in belfast for that kid[00:01:14]
To go[00:01:17]
It's a hard life[00:01:19]
It's a hard life[00:01:20]
It's a very hard life[00:01:21]
It's a hard life wherever you go[00:01:24]
If we poison our children with hatred[00:01:28]
Then the hard life is all that they'll know[00:01:33]
There ain't no place in belfast for[00:01:37]
These kids to go[00:01:40]
A cafeteria line in chicago[00:01:47]
The fat man in front of me[00:01:52]
Is calling black people trash to his children[00:01:56]
He's the only trash here I see[00:02:01]
And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood[00:02:06]
In the night when his children should sleep[00:02:10]
But they slip to their window and they see him[00:02:15]
And they think that white hood's all they need[00:02:19]
It's a hard life[00:02:24]
It's a hard life[00:02:25]
It's a very hard life[00:02:26]
It's a hard life wherever you go[00:02:29]
If we poison our children with hatred[00:02:33]
Then the hard life is all that they'll know[00:02:38]
Ain't no place see cabol kich other can go along[00:02:42]
It's a hard life[00:03:01]
I was a child in the sixties[00:03:06]
Dreams could be held through TV[00:03:11]
With disney and cronkite and martin luther[00:03:15]
Oh I believed I believed I believed[00:03:20]
Now I am the backseat driver from America[00:03:24]
I am not at the wheel of control[00:03:29]
I've guilty I've am war[00:03:33]
I have been the root of all evil[00:03:36]
Lord I just can't drive on the left side of the road[00:03:38]
It's a hard life[00:03:43]
It's a hard life[00:03:44]
It's a very hard life[00:03:45]
It's a hard life wherever you go[00:03:48]
If we poison our children with hatred[00:03:52]
Then the hard life is all that they'll know[00:03:57]
There ain't no place in reces[00:04:01]
These I are kid go[00:04:03]
Will I nevete hard life wherever you go[00:04:05]
