tracy chapman - across the lines (official) lyrics
[hook]
across the lines
who would dare to go
under the bridge
over the tracks
that separates whites from blacks
[post-hook]
choose sides
run for your lives
tonight the riots begin
on the back streets of america
they k!ll the dream of america
[verse 1]
little black girl gets -ssaulted
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 k!lled
one white boy goes blind
[hook]
across the lines
who would dare to go
under the bridge
over the tracks
that separates whites from blacks
[post-hook]
choose sides
run for your lives
tonight the riots begin
on the back streets of america
they k!ll the dream of america
[verse 2]
little black girl gets -ssaulted
don’t no one know her name
lots of people hurt and angry
she’s the one to blame
[hook]
across the lines
who would dare to go
under the bridge
over the tracks
that separates whites from blacks
[post-hook]
choose sides
run for your lives
tonight the riots begin
on the back streets of america
they k!ll the dream of america
