Lyrics
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 the back streets 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 the back streets 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 the back streets of America they kill the dream of America
Mmh hmm
Mmh hmm hmm hmm
Mmh hmm
Mmh hmm hmm hmm
Mmh hmm
Mmh hmm hmm hmm
