Tracy Chapman "Across the Lines" lyrics

Translation to:deesit

Across the Lines

Across the linesWho would dare to goUnder the bridgeOver the tracksThat separates whites from blacks

Choose sidesOr run for your lifeTonight the riots beginOn back streets of AmericaThey kill the dream of America

Little black girl gets assaultedAin't no reason whyNewspaper prints the storyRacist tempers flyNext day it starts a riotKnives and guns are drawnTwo black boys get killedOne white boy goes blind

Little black girl gets assaultedDon't noone know her nameLots of people hurt and angryShe's the one to blame
