INTRO:
CHORUS:
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Under the bridge, over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides, or run for your life
Tonight the riots began
On back streets of America,
They killed 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 the riot, knives and guns are drawn
Two black boys get killed, one white boy goes blind
CHORUS:
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Under the bridge, over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides, or run for your life
Tonight the riots began
On back streets of America,
They killed the dream of America
Little black girl gets assaulted, don't no-one know her name
Lots of people hurt 'n angry, she's the one to blame
CHORUS:
Across the lines, who would dare to go
Under the bridge, over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides, or run for your life
Tonight the riots began
On back streets of America,
They killed the dream of America
