@raryo I think it refers to the idiom "know the score" - "know how things really are, especially when it's not what you want."

Worker: "I don't want to do overtime again, I have a date tonight."
Manager: "The boss says you have to, or you'll be fired. You know the score - don't clock out until 10 PM."

Is there more detail?

I can tell you what I think when I see that. "The offspring" or just "Offspring" as some people may say, they are or were a popular rock band. "Come out and play" was one of their most popular songs.

I don't understand "learning score" in this context.

@vz9002
I'm sorry.
I'm not sure about the meaning of lyrics.

“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...”

“No one is learning the score” are the exact words.

@raryo it may mean that someone is learning how to keep track of an object.

皆さま御返答ありがとうございます。
なるほど…。

おそらく日本語にはない言葉なのでイメージを掴むのが難しかったです。
そういうイディオムがあるのですね。

日本語だと(状況を)考えろ、理解しろ、察しろ、空気を読めって感じなんですかね。
英語で説明するのが難しくてすみません。

とても勉強になりました、ありがとうございます。
