I am a backseat driver from America They drive on the left on falls road The man at the wheel's name is Shamus We pass a child on the corner he knowsAnd 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 exits And 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 goA cafeteria line in Chicago The 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 needIt'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 goI was a child in the sixties Dreams could be held through TV With Disney and Cronkite and martin Luther And, I believed, I believed, I believedNow, I am the backstreet driver from America I 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 roadIt'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
