[00:30.38] | Find yourself in the gutter |
[00:34.42] | in a lonely part of town |
[00:37.63] | where death waits in the darkness with a weapon |
[00:41.87] | to cut some stranger down |
[00:45.01] | sleeping with an empty bottle, |
[00:48.56] | he's a sad and an empty hearted man |
[00:52.58] | all he needs is a job, |
[00:54.96] | and a little respect, |
[00:56.56] | so he can get out while he can |
[00:59.89] | We always need to hear both sides of the story |
[01:10.03] | both sides of the story |
[01:19.67] | A neighbourhood peace is shattered |
[01:22.73] | it's the middle of the night |
[01:25.76] | young faces hide in the shadows, |
[01:29.91] | while they watch their mother and father fight |
[01:34.55] | he says she's been unfaithful, |
[01:37.33] | she says her love for him has gone |
[01:41.39] | and the brother shrugs to his sister and says |
[01:45.50] | "looks like it's just us from now on" |
[01:49.30] | We always need to hear both sides of the story |
[02:01.69] | And the lights are all on, |
[02:04.26] | the world is watching now |
[02:07.18] | people looking for truth, |
[02:11.44] | we must not fail them now be sure, |
[02:15.58] | before we close our eyes |
[02:18.71] | don't walk away from here |
[02:22.44] | 'til you hear both sides |
[02:34.63] | |
[02:42.09] | Here we are all gathered |
[02:45.11] | in what seems to be the centre of the storm |
[02:48.93] | neighbours once friendly now stand each side |
[02:53.34] | of the line that has been drawn |
[02:56.37] | they've been fighting here for years, |
[02:59.97] | but now there's killing on the streets |
[03:04.28] | while small coffins are lined up sadly, |
[03:07.76] | now united in defeat |
[03:12.04] | We always need to hear both sides of the story |
[03:20.12] | And the lights are all on, |
[03:23.12] | the world is watching now |
[03:25.84] | people looking for truth, |
[03:30.51] | we must not fail them now be sure, |
[03:34.30] | before we close our eyes |
[03:37.70] | don't walk away from here |
[03:41.38] | 'til you see both sides |
[03:49.06] | |
[04:00.72] | White man turns the corner, |
[04:04.08] | finds himself within a different world |
[04:08.00] | ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, |
[04:11.78] | throws him up against the wall |
[04:15.33] | he says "would you respect me |
[04:19.33] | if I didn't have this gun |
[04:23.30] | 'cos without it, |
[04:25.32] | I don't get it, |
[04:27.27] | and that's why I carry one" |
[04:31.25] | We always need to hear both sides of the story |
[04:41.59] | both sides of the story |
[00:30.38] | Find yourself in the gutter |
