Come Out And Play
Offspring · Smash
They're like the latest fashion
They're like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on the way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake out their own campus locale
And if they catch ya 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 disrespectin' me? Take him out
(You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Don't pay no mind
You're under 18 you won't be doin' 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 jail
One got wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same like the thousand before
No one's gettin' smarter no one's learnin' 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 disrespectin' 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
You're under 18 you won't be doin' any time
Hey! Come out and play!
It goes down the same like the thousand before
No one's gettin' smarter no one's learnin' 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 disrespectin' me? Take him out
(You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Don't pay no mind
You're under 18 you won't be doin' any time
Hey! Come out and play!
