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 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 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 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
