The Offspring – Come Out And Play  (Album: Smash (1994))

“You gotta keep ’em separated”

Intro: [ B  |  D  |  F#  |  A  ] with riff

[ B,  B  |  F#,  A  ]

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

[ E,  G  |  F#,  D  ]

The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin’ then it’s all over pal
[ B,  B  |  F#,  A  ]

If one guy’s colors and the others don’t mix
They’re gonna [F#] bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up

[ B  |  D  |  F#  |  A  ]

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 [E] 18 you won’t be [C] doing any time
Hey, come out and play 

(Intro Part/ riff)

By the time you hear the siren /  It’s already too late /
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail /
One guy wasted and the other’s a waste

[ E,  G  |  F#,  D  ]

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 [F#] tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own

[chorus]

(Intro Part/ riff)

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, tie your own rope, tie your own

[chorus]
