Both Sides Of The Story

[Intro]Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of townIt waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut somebody downSleeping with an empty bottle is a sad and empty-hearted manHe needs a job with a little respect so he could get out while he canCOh we always need to hear both sides ofthe storyWe always need to hear both sides of the story...both sides of the storyNeighborhood peace is shattered, it's the middle of the nightYoung faces hide in the shadows while they watch their mother and father fightHe says she's been unfaithful. She says her love for him is gone.And the brother shrugs to his sister and says"looks like it's just us from now on"Oh we always need to hear both sides of the storyWe need to hear both sides of the story...both sides of the storyThe lights are all on, the world is watching now. People looking for truth,We must have faith now. Be sure, before we close our eyesWalk away from here...'til you hear both sides...no no no noHere we are all gathered in what seems to be the center of the storm.Neighbors once friendly now stand inside of the line that has been drawn.They've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the street.While small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat.Oh we always need to hear both sides of the storyThe lights are all on, the world is watching now. People looking for truth,we must have faith now. Be sure, before we close our eyesWalk away from here...'til you see both sides...oh no no noWhite 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?'Cause without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one."Oh we always need to hear both sides of the story..both sides of the storyOh both sides of the story.....yes, both sides of the storyOh both sides of the story.....both sides of the storyBoth sides of the story..... Both sides both sides of the story....Both sides of the story..... Both sides both sides of the story yeah....Both sides of the story..... Both sides both sides of the story....Both sides of the story..... Must hear both sides of the story...
