Come Out And Play (Keep ‘Em Separated) Lyrics

[00:10.43] You gotta keep 'em separated
[00:14.11]
[00:37.14] Like the latest fashion
[00:40.13] Like a spreading disease
[00:43.19] The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
[00:46.39] Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
[00:48.89] The gangs stake out their own campus locale
[00:51.86] And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
[00:54.96] If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
[00:57.63] They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up
[01:01.24] Hey, man, you talkin' back to me?
[01:04.54] Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
[01:07.42] Hey, man, you disrespecting me?
[01:10.77] Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
[01:13.58] Hey, they don't pay no mind
[01:16.20] If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
[01:19.54] Hey, come out and play
[01:24.99]
[01:37.90] By the time you hear the siren
[01:40.97] It's already too late
[01:43.86] One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
[01:46.77] One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
[01:49.57] It goes down the same as the thousand before
[01:52.53] No one's getting smarter, no one's learning the score
[01:55.70] Your never-ending spree of death and violence and hate
[01:58.33] Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...
[02:01.90] Hey, man, you disrespecting me?
[02:05.22] Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated
[02:07.93] Hey, man, you talkin' back to me?
[02:11.34] Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
[02:14.14] Hey, they don't pay no mind
[02:17.11] If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
[02:20.36] Hey, come out and play
[02:25.85]
[02:38.69] It goes down the same as the thousand before
[02:41.26] No one's getting smarter, no one's learning the score
[02:44.39] Your never-ending spree of death and violence and hate
[02:46.97] Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...
[02:50.55] Hey, man, you talking back to me?
[02:53.88] Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
[02:56.64] Hey, man, you disrespecting me?
[02:59.92] Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
[03:02.72] Hey, they don't pay no mind
[03:05.78] If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
[03:08.97] Hey, come out and play
[03:11.84]
