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 begin On the 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 Little black girl gets assaulted Don't no one know her name Lots of people hurt and angry She's the one to blame
