Both Sides of the Story

(Phil Collins)

'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 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 of the story 

A neighborhood peace is shattered it's the middle of the night 
young faces hide in the shadows, while they watch their mother and father fight 
he says she's been unfaithful, she says her love for him has gone 
and the brother shrugs to his sister and says 'looks like it's just us from 
now on' 

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 
'til you hear both sides 

Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the storm 
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 
'til you see both sides 

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 
'cos without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one' 

We always need to hear both sides of the story
