Both Sides Of The Story歌词

[00:30.38]Find yourself in the gutter
[00:34.42]in a lonely part of town
[00:37.63]where death waits in the darkness with a weapon
[00:41.87]to cut some stranger down
[00:45.01]sleeping with an empty bottle,
[00:48.56]he＇s a sad and an empty hearted man
[00:52.58]all he needs is a job,
[00:54.96]and a little respect,
[00:56.56]so he can get out while he can
[00:59.89]We always need to hear both sides of the story
[01:10.03]both sides of the story
[01:19.67]A neighbourhood peace is shattered
[01:22.73]it＇s the middle of the night
[01:25.76]young faces hide in the shadows,
[01:29.91]while they watch their mother and father fight
[01:34.55]he says she＇s been unfaithful,
[01:37.33]she says her love for him has gone
[01:41.39]and the brother shrugs to his sister and says
[01:45.50]＂looks like it＇s just us from now on＂
[01:49.30]We always need to hear both sides of the story
[02:01.69]And the lights are all on,
[02:04.26]the world is watching now
[02:07.18]people looking for truth,
[02:11.44]we must not fail them now be sure,
[02:15.58]before we close our eyes
[02:18.71]don＇t walk away from here
[02:22.44]＇til you hear both sides
[02:34.63]
[02:42.09]Here we are all gathered
[02:45.11]in what seems to be the centre of the storm
[02:48.93]neighbours once friendly now stand each side
[02:53.34]of the line that has been drawn
[02:56.37]they＇ve been fighting here for years,
[02:59.97]but now there＇s killing on the streets
[03:04.28]while small coffins are lined up sadly,
[03:07.76]now united in defeat
[03:12.04]We always need to hear both sides of the story
[03:20.12]And the lights are all on,
[03:23.12]the world is watching now
[03:25.84]people looking for truth,
[03:30.51]we must not fail them now be sure,
[03:34.30]before we close our eyes
[03:37.70]don＇t walk away from here
[03:41.38]＇til you see both sides
[03:49.06]
[04:00.72]White man turns the corner,
[04:04.08]finds himself within a different world
[04:08.00]ghetto kid grabs his shoulder,
[04:11.78]throws him up against the wall
[04:15.33]he says ＂would you respect me
[04:19.33]if I didn＇t have this gun
[04:23.30]＇cos without it,
[04:25.32]I don＇t get it,
[04:27.27]and that＇s why I carry one＂
[04:31.25]We always need to hear both sides of the story
[04:41.59]both sides of the story
