Phil Collins - Both Sides Of The Story Lyrics
though we might hate to admit it, there are always two sides to every story...Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of townWhere death waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut some stranger downSleeping with an empty bottle, hes a sad and an empty hearted manAll he needs is a job, and a little respect, so he can get out while he canWe always need to hear both sides of the storyA neighbourhood peace is shattered its the middle of the nightYoung faces hide in the shadows, while they watch their mother and father fightHe says shes been unfaithful, she says her love for him has goneAnd the brother shrugs to his sister and says looks like its just us fromNow onWe always need to hear both sides of the storyAnd the lights are all on, the world is watching nowPeople looking for truth, we must not fail them nowBe sure, before we close our eyesDont walk away from heretil you hear both sidesHere we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the stormNeighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line that has been drawnTheyve been fighting here for years, but now theres killing on the streetsWhile small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeatWe always need to hear both sides of the storyAnd the lights are all on, the world is watching nowPeople looking for truth, we must not fail them nowBe sure, before we close our eyesDont walk away from heretil you see both sidesWhite man turns the corner, finds himself within a different worldGhetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wallHe says would you respect me if I didnt have this guncos without it, I dont get it, and thats why I carry oneWe always need to hear both sides of the story
