《Both Sides Of The Story》歌词

[00:00:30] Find yourself in the gutter

[00:00:34] In a lonely part of town

[00:00:37] Where death waits in the darkness with a weapon

[00:00:41] To cut some stranger down

[00:00:45] Sleeping with an empty bottle,

[00:00:48] He's a sad and an empty hearted man

[00:00:52] All he needs is a job,

[00:00:54] And a little respect,

[00:00:56] So he can get out while he can

[00:00:59] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:01:10] Both sides of the story

[00:01:19] A neighbourhood peace is shattered

[00:01:22] It's the middle of the night

[00:01:25] Young faces hide in the shadows,

[00:01:29] While they watch their mother and father fight

[00:01:34] He says she's been unfaithful,

[00:01:37] She says her love for him has gone

[00:01:41] And the brother shrugs to his sister and says

[00:01:45] "looks like it's just us from now on"

[00:01:49] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:02:01] And the lights are all on,

[00:02:04] The world is watching now

[00:02:07] People looking for truth,

[00:02:11] We must not fail them now be sure,

[00:02:15] Before we close our eyes

[00:02:18] Don't walk away from here

[00:02:22] Til you hear both sides

[00:02:42] Here we are all gathered

[00:02:45] In what seems to be the centre of the storm

[00:02:48] Neighbours once friendly now stand each side

[00:02:53] Of the line that has been drawn

[00:02:56] They've been fighting here for years,

[00:02:59] But now there's killing on the streets

[00:03:04] While small coffins are lined up sadly,

[00:03:07] Now united in defeat

[00:03:12] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:03:20] And the lights are all on,

[00:03:23] The world is watching now

[00:03:25] People looking for truth,

[00:03:30] We must not fail them now be sure,

[00:03:34] Before we close our eyes

[00:03:37] Don't walk away from here

[00:03:41] Til you see both sides

[00:04:00] White man turns the corner,

[00:04:04] Finds himself within a different world

[00:04:08] Ghetto kid grabs his shoulder,

[00:04:11] Throws him up against the wall

[00:04:15] He says "would you respect me

[00:04:19] If I didn't have this gun

[00:04:23] Cos without it,

[00:04:25] I don't get it,

[00:04:27] And that's why I carry one"

[00:04:31] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:04:41] Both sides of the story
