The Offspring- Come Out And Play

Come Out And Play

You gotta keep'em separated

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strapping
on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons
with the greatest of ease

The gangs stake
their own campus locales
And if they catch you slipping
Then it's all over, pal

If one guy's colors
and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up

Hey man you talking back to me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated
Hey man you disrespecting me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated

Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18
You won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play

By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue
And the other to jail
One guy's wasted
And the other's a waste

It goes down the same
as a thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score

Your never ending spree
of death and violence and hate
is gonna tie your own rope

Hey man you talking back to me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated
Hey man you disrespecting me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated

Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18
You won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play

It goes down the same
as a thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score

Your never ending spree
of death a violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope

Hey man you talking back to me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated
Hey man you disrespecting me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated

Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18
You won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
