Overheard at Table 2: The Offspring "Come Out and Play" reprise

Saw an article today that The Offspring has dumped their drummer from an upcoming tour for not getting vaccinated, so I've re-written the lyrics to the song "Come Out and Play"

Come Out and Play

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 locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guys colors and the others 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

Chorus

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

Chorus








This is the Way

You gotta get ‘em vaccinated

It’s the latest fashion
All this COVID disease
The kids are coughin’ on their way to the classroom
Getting COVID with the greatest of ease
QAnon stakes its own campus locale
And if they catch you vaxxin’ then it's all over pal
If we know reality and MAGA don't mix
We’re gonna vax it up vax it up vax it up!

Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta get ‘em vaccinated 
Hey - man you coughing over me?
Take him out
You gotta get ‘em vaccinated 
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're over 18 you can vax at any time
Hey, this is the way!

By the time you get vented
It's already too late
You’re going to the morgue and your family wails
Another life wasted because their brain is debased
You go down the same as 500 thousand before
MAGAs getting dumber
Q’s rotten to the core
Evangelical pastors spewing sermons of hate
They’re gonna tie their own rope tie their own rope

Chorus

You go down the same as half a million before
MAGAs getting dumber
Q’s rotten to the core
Evangelical pastors spewing sermons of hate
They’re gonna tie their own rope tie their own rope

Chorus

Hey hey, then you can go out and play!
