Though we might hate to admit it
there are always two sides to every story
Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town where death waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut some stranger down sleeping with an empty bottle
he s a sad and an empty hearted man all he needs is a job
and a little respect
so he can get out while he can We always need to hear both sides of the story A neighbourhood peace is shattered it s the middle of the night young faces hide in the shadows
while they watch their mother and father fight he says she s been unfaithful
she says her love for him has gone and the brother shrugs to his sister and says "looks like it s just us from now on" We always need to hear both sides of the story And the lights are all on
the world is watching now people looking for truth
we must not fail them now be sure
before we close our eyes don t walk away from here til you hear both sides Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the storm neighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line that has been drawn they ve been fighting here for years
but now there s killing on the streets while small coffins are lined up sadly
now united in defeat We always need to hear both sides of the story And the lights are all on
the world is watching now people looking for truth
we must not fail them now be sure
before we close our eyes don t walk away from here til you see both sides White man turns the corner
finds himself within a different world ghetto kid grabs his shoulder
throws him up against the wall he says "would you respect me if I didn t have this gun cos without it
I don t get it
and that s why I carry one" We always need to hear both sides of the story |
