Lyrics
Two black boys get killed, two black boys get killed
that separates whites from blacks
don t no one know her name
Little black girl gets assaulted, one white boy goes blind
Who would dare to go under the bridge, over the tracks Across, don t no one know her name
ain t no reason why
knives and guns are drawn
Tonight the riots begin, and racist tempers fly
little black girl gets assaulted
lots of people hurt and angry
Newspaper prints the story, ain t no reason why
Tonight the riots begin, on the back streets of america, two black boys get killed
That separates whites from blacks, who would dare to go under the bridge, newspaper prints the story
Over the tracks, on the back streets of america
Little black girl gets assaulted, ain t no reason why
she s the one to blame
who would dare to go under the bridge
Or run for your life, or run for your life Lines, ain t no reason why
They kill the dream of america, they kill the dream of america
She s the one to blame, on the back streets of america Lines, lots of people hurt and angry
Don t no one know her name, little black girl gets assaulted, over the tracks
Next day it starts a riot, little black girl gets assaulted
Ain t no reason why, one white boy goes blind, that separates whites from blacks
Lots of people hurt and angry, they kill the dream of america, she s the one to blame
and racist tempers fly
Across the lines, two black boys get killed
choose sides
ain t no reason why
And racist tempers fly, one white boy goes blind Across, choose sides
Across the lines, that separates whites from blacks, choose sides
Knives and guns are drawn, knives and guns are drawn
Knives and guns are drawn, or run for your life Across, two black boys get killed
that separates whites from blacks
Little black girl gets assaulted, or run for your life
Next day it starts a riot, knives and guns are drawn Lines, she s the one to blame
ain t no reason why
Next day it starts a riot, and racist tempers fly, two black boys get killed
who would dare to go under the bridge
And racist tempers fly, tonight the riots begin
little black girl gets assaulted
Across the lines, across the lines Lines, choose sides
Newspaper prints the story, little black girl gets assaulted, two black boys get killed
