  • Verse 1
    One 
    of 
    her 
    babies 
    is 
    rotting 
    in 
    the 
    sun 

    And 
    the 
    other 
    one 
    was 
    found 

    drowned 
    in 
    the 
    ocean 

    Her mom and 
    dad 
    are 
    in 
    their 
    van 

    crushed 
    and 
    bloated 

    And 
    her 
    husband 
    was 
    thrown 

    from 
    his 
    fishing 
    boat 

    So 
    please 
    give 
    me 
    break 

    from 
    all 
    your 
    complaining 

    About 
    who 
    was 
    mean 
    to 
    you 

    and how your 
    stepdad 
    is 
    pain 

    care, 
    swear, 
    but 
    just 
    can't 
    take 
    it, 

    not 
    to
    day 

    All 
    can 
    think 
    about 
    are 

    tsunamis 
    and 
    earthquakes 

    Chorus 1
    Everything 
    she's 
    ever 
    known 

    is 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    Everyone 
    she's 
    ever 
    loved 

    is 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    The 
    only 
    reason 
    she's 
    alive 
    is 

    She 
    grabbed 
    palm 
    frond 

    and 
    held 
    on 

    And 
    held 
    on 

    Verse 2
    You 
    can 
    call 
    me 
    crazy 

    but 
    it 
    seems 
    to 
    me 
    we 
    could 

    Have 
    sent 
    more 
    than 
    we 
    spend 

    in 
    one 
    day 
    killing 
    Iraqis 

    To 
    help 
    the 
    hundreds 
    of 
    thousands 

    Who 
    are 
    injured 
    and 
    diseased 

    And 
    hungry 
    and 
    homeless 

    and 
    with
    out 
    families 

    I'm 
    ap
    palled 
    by 
    our 
    government's 

    in
    itial 
    reaction 

    And 
    the 
    fact 
    that 
    they 
    asked 

    for 
    verbal 
    retraction 

    From 
    the 
    folks 
    who 
    called 
    them 
    stingy 

    They're 
    just 
    covering 
    their 
    assets 

    Well, 
    they 
    thank 
    their 
    greedy 
    god 

    for 
    wiping 
    out 
    the 
    lower 
    class 
    and 

    Chorus 2
    Everything 
    she's 
    ever 
    known 

    is 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    Everyone 
    she's 
    ever 
    loved 

    is 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    The 
    only 
    reason 
    she's 
    alive 
    is 

    She 
    grabbed 
    palm 
    frond 

    and 
    held 
    on 

    And 
    held 
    on

    One 
    of 
    her 
    babies 
    is 
    rotting 
    in 
    the 
    sun 

    And 
    the 
    other 
    one

    drowned 
    in

    And 
    her 
    husband 
    was 
    thrown 

    from 
    his 
    fishing 
    boat 

    We'd 
    have 
    12-26 

    tat
    tooed 
    across 
    our 
    foreheads 

    If 
    something 
    this 
    atrocious 

    happened 
    on 
    our 
    coast 
    instead 

    Well, 
    tragedy's 
    tragedy 

    no 
    matter 
    where 
    it 
    happens 

    Close 
    your 
    eyes 
    really 
    tight 
    now 

    and 
    try 
    to 
    imagine 

    Bridge 1
    That 
    everything 
    you've 
    ever 
    known 
    is 
    gone 

    And 
    everyone 
    you've 
    ever 
    loved 
    is 
    gone 

    And 
    the 
    only 
    reason 
    you're 
    alive 

    is 
    you 
    were 
    lucky 

    And 
    you 
    were 
    strong 
    enough 

    to 
    hold 
    on 

    While 
    you 
    watched 
    your 
    family 
    die 

    While 
    you 
    watched 
    your 
    family 
    die 

    While 
    you 
    watched 
    your 
    family 
    die 

    While 
    you 
    watched 
    your 
    family 
    die 

    Chorus 3
    Everything 
    she's 
    ever

    is 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    Everyone

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
