Shot By Both Sides (Single Version) Lyrics by Magazine

Real Life - 2007 Remastered Edition Bonus Tracks

1978

[Verse 1]
This and that, they must be the same
What is legal is just what's real
What I'm given to understand
Is exactly what I steal
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
Wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
[Chorus 1]
Shot
By both sides
On the run
To the outside of everything
Shot
By both sides
They must have come
To a secret understanding
[Verse 2]
New offenses always in my nerves
They'rе taking my time by force
They havе to rewrite all the books again
As a matter of course
Then wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
[Chorus 2]
Shot
By both sides
On the run
To the outside of everything
Shot
By both sides
They must have come
To a secret understanding
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
'Why are you so edgy, Kid?'
Asks the man with the voice
One thing follows another
You live and learn, you have no choice
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
[Bridge]
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
But I wormed my way
But I wormed my way
But I wormed my way
But I wormed my way
But I wormed my way
But I wormed my way
But I wormed my way
But I wormed my way
[Chorus 3]
Shot
By both sides
I don't ask
Who's doing the shooting
Shot
By both sides
We must have come
To a secret understanding
