Lyrics Both Sides Of The Gun - Ben Harper

Both Sides Of The Gun

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
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
One dimensional fool
In a three dimensional world
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
Tension
Too much to mention
Living on both sides of the gun
