Across the Lines

Across the lines
 Who would dare to go?
 Under the bridge
 Over the tracks
 That separates whites from blacks
 Choose sides
 Run for your lives
 Tonight the riots begin
 On backstreets of America
 They kill the dream of America
 ♪
 Little black girl gets assaulted
 Ain't no reason why
 Newspaper prints the story
 And racist tempers fly
 Next day it starts a riot
 Knives and guns are drawn
 Two black boys get killed
 One white boy goes blind
 Across the lines
 Who would dare to go?
 Under the bridge
 Over the tracks
 That separates whites from blacks
 Choose sides
 Run for your lives
 Tonight the riots begin
 On backstreets of America
 They kill the dream of America
 ♪
 Little black girl gets assaulted
 Don't no one know her name
 Lots of people hurt and angry
 She's the one to blame
 Across the lines
 Who would dare to go?
 Under the bridge
 Over the tracks
 That separates whites from blacks
 Choose sides
 Run for your lives
 Tonight the riots begin
 
 On backstreets of America
 They kill the dream of America
