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 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 We 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, no no no no 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, no no no no no 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 'Cause without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one" We always need to hear both sides of the story Both sides of the story Oh both sides of the story Yes both sides of the story Oh both sides of the story Both sides of the story Both sides of the story Both sides, both sides of the story Both sides of the story Both sides of the story Both sides of the story Both sides, both sides of the story Both sides of the story Both sides of the story Both sides of the story Must hear both sides of the story

What I've got I don't want All it does is hover and taunt Reminding me what I used to be What I may never be again Turns out what I'm good at doin Is making something out of the ruin Borrow this wasted space that could never be replaced Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. If my wheels were square, but the earth was jagged I rode along, it'd be no less ragged And seems to be the day I'm usually this way Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. I wish every harder day only took an hour And I'm not just like the people I resent I wish someday I could truly be a power Say exactly what it is I meant All I have that's in abundance Is my perpetual redundance It's hard for me to say, I face it everyday Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal.
