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
Both sides of the story
A neighbourhood peace is shattered
Its 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 its 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
