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 |
