Chapman Tracy Across The Lines Lyrics

Across The Lines Lyrics

Across the lines
Who could dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the
tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides
Or run for your
life
Tonight the riots behin
On 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
start a riot
Knives and guns are drawn
Two black boys get killed
One
white boy goes blind
Little black girl gets assaulted
Don't no one know
her name
Lots of people hurt and angry
She's the one to blame
