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 just a little respect So he can get out while he can
Ah we always need to hear both sides of the story
Both sides of the story yeah
Well a neighborhood 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 that her love for him has gone
And the brother shrugs to his sister and says Looks like it's just us from now on
Ah 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 till you hear both sides
No no no no
Well here we are all gathered in what seems To be the center of the storm
Neighbors 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
Ah 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
Till you see both sides
No no no no no yeah
Would you walk away
Would you walk away
White man turns the corner
He 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
Ah we always need to hear both sides of the story We need to hear both sides of the story
Both sides of the story
We gotta hear both sides of the story
Both sides both sides of the story
We gotta hear both sides of the story
Ah both sides of the story
