Arbeitsblatt: Tracey Chapman Across the line

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 back streets of America They kill the dream of America Little black girl gets assaulted Aint no reason why Newspaper prints the story And racist tempers fly Next day it starts riot Knives and guns are drawn Two black boys get killed One white boy goes blind Chorus: Across the lines Little black girl gets assaulted Dont no one know the name Lots of people hurt and angry Shes the one to blame Chorus: Across the lines
