《Both Sides of the Story(12” Extended Mix)》歌词

[00:00:00] Both Sides of the Story (12" Extended Mix) - Abacab

[00:01:00] Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town

[00:01:07] Where death waits in the darkness with a weapon

[00:01:11] To cut some stranger down

[00:01:15] Sleeping with an empty bottle

[00:01:18] He's a sad and an empty hearted man

[00:01:22] All he needs is a job and a little respect

[00:01:26] So he can get out while he can

[00:01:30] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:01:40] Both sides of the story

[00:01:49] A neighborhood peace is shattered

[00:01:52] It's the middle of the night

[00:01:56] Young faces hide in the shadows

[00:01:59] While they watch their mother and father fight

[00:02:03] He says she's been unfaithful

[00:02:06] She says her love for him has gone

[00:02:11] And the brother shrugs to his sister and says

[00:02:14] Looks like it's just us from now on'

[00:02:19] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:02:24] We need to hear both sides of the story

[00:02:30] And the lights are all on the world is watching now

[00:02:38] People looking for truth we must not fail them now

[00:02:42] Be sure before we close our eyes

[00:02:48] Don't walk away from here

[00:02:52] 'Til you hear both sides

[00:02:56] Oh no no

[00:03:11] Here we are all gathered in what seems to be

[00:03:15] The centre of the storm

[00:03:19] Neighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line

[00:03:23] That has been drawn

[00:03:26] They've been fighting here for years

[00:03:29] But now there's killing on the streets

[00:03:33] While small coffins are lined up sadly now united in defeat

[00:03:41] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:03:49] And the lights are all on the world is watching now

[00:03:57] People looking for truth we must not fail them now

[00:04:01] Be sure before we close our eyes

[00:04:07] Don't walk away from here

[00:04:11] 'Til you see both sides

[00:04:14] Oh no no no

[00:04:30] White man turns the corner

[00:04:33] Finds himself within a different world

[00:04:38] Ghetto kid grabs his shoulder throws him up against the wall

[00:04:45] He says 'would you respect me if I didn't have this gun

[00:04:53] 'Cause without it I don't get it

[00:04:56] And that's why I carry one'

[00:05:00] We always need to hear both sides of the story

[00:05:05] We need to hear both sides of the story
