te gotta keep 'em separated
Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on the way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake out their own campus locale
And if they catch ya slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colori and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up
Hey! Man te talking back to me? Take him out
(You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Man te disrespecting me? Take him out
(You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Don't pay no mind
You're under 18 te won't be doin' any time
Hey! Come out and play!
da the time te hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One got wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same like the thousand before
No one's gettin' smarter no one's learnin' 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
Hey! Man te disrespecting me? Take him out
(You gotta keep 'em separated)

And saw my world has changed
The past is over but
Tomorrow's wishful thinking
Can't hold on what's being done
Can't grab on what's to come
And I just wish that I could stop but
Life Goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow Cries
The memories are bittersweet
Good times we CAN'T REPEAT
Those days are gone and we can
Never get them back
Now we must sposta ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We're all just wishing we could stop but
Life Goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe your eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow Cries
With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as
Today just slips away
Time can't stand what we've made
Cause it's another day
And I'm just wishing we could stop --
Life Goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow Cries
Time rolls on
In your plane in the blue sky
te roam around
Worlds that echo in your mind
Make your cuore beat faster
'This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq'
The president said, 'Let it ride'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
Warrior, the time bomb's about to go
What will te feel
Will te even wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girlfriend good-bye
The Captain said, 'Kill o die'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
Great satan, our flags are burning
Now America has found its young men In the sand
Where their casualty Is just another number
In Iraq
The president said, 'Let it ride'
te will be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
te roam around
Worlds that echo in your mind
Make your cuore beat faster
'This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq'
The president said, 'Let it ride'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
Warrior, the time bomb's about to go

In Baghdad
Great satan, our flags are burning
Now America has found its young men In the sand

te will be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
See the way the wind blows
Lives are intertwined
Watch the way the world goes
The man deals out our plight
Jester in the corner
Laughs without a sound
Jester in the corner
Malady abounds
In our souls
See the way the sun sets
Twilight of this life
The man is making little bets
Playing with our lives
All that I believe now
Anything is possible
A simple explanation
For the evil in this world
And in our souls
In our souls
Come down to sorry and sable
It's always the man
Always keeping te down
Bow down cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps te running
Shut up te talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up te talk too much
Look at te and your struggle for freedom
But te ain't nothing
We all pay the man for living
Wouldn't it be nice for a change now
To be unchained
My life is for me now
But this is life
Pay the man
Shut up te talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up te talk too much
Pay the man
Lives are intertwined
Watch the way the world goes

When you're feeling low
Hypodermic's where te go
WHen you're with yourself
te wish yo ucould be someone else
Can't te see like te saw anymore?
Can't te feel like te felt before?
Can't te face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Once te get a ride
Doesn't matter where te lied
Once te shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've been
You're reeaching in but te don't know where to begin
All your dance and song won't matter when you're gone
Can't te see like te saw anymore?
Can't te feel like te felt before?
Can't te face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Hypodermic's where te go
WHen you're with yourself
te wish yo ucould be someone else
Can't te see like te saw anymore?
Can't te feel like te felt before?
Can't te face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Once te get a ride
Doesn't matter where te lied
Once te shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've been
You're reeaching in but te don't know where to begin
All your dance and song won't matter when you're gone
Can't te see like te saw anymore?
Can't te feel like te felt before?
Can't te face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
