Both Sides Of The Gun

Both Sides Of The Gun



Written by: Ben Harper



living these days is making me nervous

archaic doctrine no longer serve us

now we're left as silent witnesses

we don't know quite what this is

other than a war that can't be won



oh it's tension

so much tension

when we're living on both sides of the gun



i feel like i'm crowded; i can't get out

world keeps on filling me up with doubt

when you're trapped you got no voice

where you're born you got no choice

other than to go and take you some



oh it's tension

too much to mention

when you're living on both sides of the gun

(both sides of the gun)



one dimensional fool in a

three dimensional world (3x)



politics; it's a drag

they put one foot in the grave

and the other on the flag

systems rotten to the core

young and old deserve much more

than struggling every day until you're done



oh it's tension

too much to mention

'cause we're living on both sides of the gun



mmmm...tension

oh, I can't mention

we're living on both sides of the gun

oh living on both sides....(fade)
