Different Sides

[Verse 1]

We find ourselves on different sides

Of a line nobody drew

Though it all may be one in the higher eye

Down here where we live, it is two

I, to my side, call the meek and the mild

You, to your side, call the Word

By virtue of suffering, I claim to have won

You claim to have never been heard

[Chorus]

Both of us say there are laws to obey

Yeah, but, frankly, I don't like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

But I wanna leave it alone (alone, alone, alone)

The pull of the moon, the thrust of the sun

Thus the ocean is crossed (woah)

The waters are blessed while a shadowy guest

Kindles a light for the lost

[Chorus]

Both of us say there are laws to obey

But, frankly, I don't like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

Yeah but I wanna leave it alone

[Verse 2]

Down in the valley, the famine goes on

Famine up on the hill

I say that you shouldn't, you couldn't, you can't

You say that you must and you will

You want to live where the suffering is

I want to get out of town

C'mon baby, give me a kiss

Stop writing everything down

[Chorus]

Both of us say there are laws to obey

Yeah, but frankly I don't like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

But I wanna leave it alone

Both of us say there are laws to obey

Frankly, I don't like your tone

You want to change the way I make love

But I wanna leave it alone
