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

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 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 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 18 you won´t be doing any time
Hey come out and play
