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
    Chorus:
    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 a violence and hate
  Is gonna tie your own rope
    Repeat chorus
    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 a violence and hate
  Is gonna tie your own rope
    Repeat chorus
