Ben Harper Both Sides Of The Gun Lyrics

Both Sides Of The Gun Lyrics

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

Living on both sides of the gun



Well, 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

One dimensional fool

In a three dimensional world



One dimensional fool

In a three dimensional world, sing it



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, tension

Too much to mention

cause we're Living on both sides of the gun



Mmm, tension

Oh, I can't mention

We're living on both sides of the gun

Living on both sides of the gun

Living on both sides of the gun
