Itвs a Hard Life Wherever You Go
I am a back[D]seat [C] driver from A[G][merica
We [D] drive to the [C] left on Fordвs [G] road.
And the [D] man at the [C] wheelвs name is [G] Shamus
We pass a [D] child on the [C] corner he [G] knows
And [D] Shamus says, гNow [C] what chance has [G] that kid got?д
And I [D] say from the [C] back, гI donвt [G] knowд
He says, гThereвs [D] barbed wire at [C] all of these [G] exits
And there ainвt [D] no place in [C] Belfast for that [G] kid to goд
Chorus:
Yes itвs a [C] hard life, itвs a hard [G/B] life, itвs a [C] very hard [G]
life
Itвs a [D] hard life wher[C]ever you [G] go
And if we [D] poison our [C] children with [G] hatred
Then a [D] hard life is [C] all that theyвll [G] know
And there ainвt [D] no place in [C] Belfast for that [G] kid to go [D] [C]
[G]
Cafeteria line in Chicago
The fat man in front of me
Is calling black people trash to his children
But heвs the only trash here I see
And Iвm thinking, this man wears a white hood
In the night when his children should sleep
But theyвll slip to their windows and theyвll see him
And theyвll think white hoods are all that they need
Chorus 2:
Yes itвs a hard life, itвs a hard life, itвs a very hard life
Itвs a hard life wherever you go
And if we poison our children with hatred
Then a hard life is all that theyвll know
And there ainвt no place in Chicago for those kids to go
I was a child in the sixties
When dreams could be had through TV
With Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther
And I believed, I believed, I believed
Now Iвm a backseat driver from America
And Iвm not at the wheel of control
And I am guilty, I am war, and I am the root of all evil
Lord, and I canвt drive on the left side of the road
Chorus 3:
Yes itвs a hard life, itвs a hard life, itвs a very hard life
Itвs a hard life wherever you go
And if we poison our children with hatred
Then a hard life is all that theyвll know
And there ainвt no place in this world for these kids to go
Keep on strummin'
