Come Out And Play (2000 Version)

You gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion

Like a spreading disease

The kids are strappin' on their way to their classrooms

Gettin' weapons with the greatest of ease

The gangs stake their own campus locale

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, they don't pay no mind

If you're under eighteen, you won't be doin' any time

Hey, come out and play

By the time you hear the sirens

It's already too late

One goes to the morgue, 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

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

Hey, they don't pay no mind

If you're under eighteen, you won't be doin' any time

Hey, come out and play
