Guitar Notes: Very simple guitarwork, no doubt courtesy of Chapman herself. This song is strange in that it speeds up...a lot. Just check out the jump in tempo before the 1st verse (on the CD, not here; I've chosen not to bother with the tempo changes). Bass Notes: There are two bass tracks here, but I've taken the liberty of arranging them for one. Both are fretless, but the "lead" one has some serious effect on it.

Across the lines
Who would dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That seperates whites from blacks
Choose sides
Or run for your life
Tonight the riots begin
On the back streets 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
