N.C.
You gotta keep 'em separated
[Verse]
B F# A B D F# A
They're like the latest fashion
B F# A B D F# A
They're like a spreading disease
B F# A B D F# A
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
B F# A B D F# A
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
[Pre-chorus]
E2 G2 F#2 B D2
The gangs stake their own campus locale
E2 G2 F#2 B D2
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
B F# A B D F# A
If one guy's colors and the others don't mix
F#
They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up
[Chorus]
B D F# A B D F# A
Hey, man you talkin' back to me?

By the time you hear the siren

It's already too late
B F# A B D F# A
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
B F# A B D F# A
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
[Pre-chorus]
E2 G2 F#2 B D2
It goes down the same as the thousand before
E2 G2 F#2 B D2
No one's getting smarter, no one's learning the score

Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
F#
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own
[Chorus]
