Come Out and Play

Singer:The Offspring

Album:Smash

You gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion

Like a spreading disease

The kids are strappin' 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 slippin'

then it's all over

pal

If one guy's colors' and the other's don't mix

They're gonna bash it up

bash it up

bash it up

bash it up

Hey!

Man

you talkin' 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

don't pay no mind

If you're under eighteen

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 the 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

tie your own rope

tie your own

Hey!

Man

you disrespecting me?

(Take him out)

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey!

Man

you talkin' back to me?

(Take him out)

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey

don't pay no mind

If you're under eighteen

you won't be doing any time

Hey

Come out and play

It goes down the same as the 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

tie your own rope

tie your own

Hey!

Man

you talkin' 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

don't pay no mind

If you're under eighteen

you won't be doing any time

Hey

Come out and play
