Both Sides Of The Story (Paris Unplugged) - 2015 Remastered

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
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 see both sides, oh

Here we are all gathered
In what seems to be the center of the storm
These 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

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
Until you see both sides, 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
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)
We gotta hear both sides of the story (both sides, both sides)
Both sides of the story (both sides, both sides)
We gotta hear both sides, both sides of the story (both sides, both sides)
We gotta to hear both sides
