[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
[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,
