    Verse 1
    [Aesop 
    Rock] 

    Zoom in to 
    the 
    fuming 
    of an 

    aggravated 
    breed 

    Via 
    the 
    study 
    of 
    post- 

    adolesent agitated 
    seeds 

    Half 
    the patients 
    wasted 
    self 

    pride 
    at 
    Commencement 

    So I 
    fo
    cus 
    on 
    the 
    urban 
    Oxygen 
    samples, 

    the 
    hot 
    that 
    made 
    it breathe 

    They sold 
    Pompeii 
    impression, 

    waste 
    infections 

    And 
    twelve 
    steps 
    to lesson 

    Cretins 
    swiftly 
    tippy 
    toe 
    on hard 
    to 
    swallow, 

    barter 
    concepts 

    The 
    give- 
    it 
    get- 
    it, never 
    let 
    it self 
    pass 
    the 
    word, 

    eyeing stubborn
    ness 

    Martyrs 
    talks 
    money 
    causes 
    in 

    a harvesting 
    Spartacus 

    And 
    someone, 

    I've 
    thrown 
    long 
    Hail 
    Mary 
    bombs 

    Toward 
    cookie- 
    cutter 
    Mother 
    Natures 

    bedazzled 
    synthetic 
    fabrics 

    Life 
    treats 
    the peasants 
    like 

    They tried 
    to fuck 
    his 
    woman 

    while 
    he 
    slept 
    inside 

    Well 
    they're merely 
    chasing 

    perfectionist 
    emblems 

    When 
    the 
    clock 
    strikes 
    nine 

    I'll 
    be 
    waking 
    with the 
    best 
    of 

    routine 
    caffiene team 
    players 

    For 
    the cycle 
    of 
    it 

    Under 
    a dusted 
    an
    gel 

    heartstring Big 
    Brother 
    is 
    watching 

    My 
    odometer 
    like 
    buzzard 
    to 
    fallen 
    elk, 

    talking 
    stealth 

    We 
    got 
    babies, 
    rubber

    and briefcase

    We on some

    or 
    more, 

    we'll 
    shove 
    it 
    down 
    your throat 
    for 
    free 

    I'll sacrifice 
    my

    For copper

    So we

    It can 
    roast

    I'll 
    take 
    my 
    seat 
    atop 

    the Brooklyn 
    Bridge 

    With 
    a Coke 
    and 
    a bag 
    of 
    chips 

    To watch 
    a thousand 
    lemmings 

    plummet 
    just 
    because

    these 
    little

    I tend 
    to underestimate 
    my 
    average 

    Just 
    another

    savage 

    Someday 
    you'll 
    all 
    eat 
    out 

    of my 
    cold 
    hand 

    'cause 
    every 
    dog 
    has 
    its 
    day 

    At 
    which 
    point, 
    I'll 
    pull 
    it 
    away 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    we 
    the 
    American 
    working 
    population 

    Hate 
    the fact 
    that 
    eight 
    hours 
    a day 

    Is wasted 
    on chasing 
    the 
    dream 

    of someone 
    that 
    isn't 
    us 

    And 
    we 
    may 
    not 
    hate 
    our jobs 

    But 
    we 
    hate 
    jobs 
    in 
    general 

    That 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    do 

    with fighting 
    our 
    own 
    causes 

    We 
    the 
    American 
    working 
    population 

    Hate 
    the nine- 
    to- 
    five 
    day- 
    in 
    day- 
    out 

    When 
    we'd 
    rather 
    be supporting 
    ourselves 

    By 
    being 
    paid 
    to 
    perfect 
    the 
    pasttimes 

    That we 
    have harbored 

    based 
    solely 
    on 
    the 
    fact 

    That 
    it makes 
    us 
    smile 
    if it 

    sounds 
    dope 

    Verse 3
    [Aesop Rock] 
    It's 

    the 
    year 
    of the 
    silkworm 

    Everything 
    built 
    burned 
    yesterday 

    Let's 
    display 
    the purpose 

    that 
    these 
    stilts 
    serve 

    Elevate 
    the spreading 
    of 
    the silk 
    germ 

    Trying 
    to weave 
    a web 
    but 
    all 

    that I 
    believe 
    in 
    is 
    dead 

    Nah 
    brother, 
    it's 
    the 
    year 
    of the 
    jackal 

    Saddle 
    up 
    on high 
    horse 

    My 
    torch 
    forced 
    Polar
    is 

    em
    barrassed 

    Shackle 
    up 
    the hassle 
    by 
    the dooming 

    legend 
    mar
    riage 

    I bought 
    some 
    new sneakers 

    I just 
    hope 
    my 
    legacy 
    matches 

    It's 
    the 
    year 
    of the 
    landshark 

    Dry 
    as sand, 
    parched, 

    damn 
    get these 
    men 
    some 
    water 

    They're out 
    there 
    being 
    slaughtered 

    In 
    meaningless 
    wars 
    so you 

    don't 
    have 
    to 
    bother

    And 
    can 
    sit 
    and 
    soak 
    the 
    idiotbox trying 

    to 
    fuck 
    their 
    daugh
    ters 

    Man it's 
    the 
    year 
    of the 
    Orphan 

    Seated 
    adjacent 
    to 
    the firefly 
    circling 

    the 
    torches 
    on 
    your 
    porches 

    Trying 
    to guard 
    the fortress 
    of 
    a king 

    they've 
    never 
    seen 
    or 
    met 

    But 
    all 
    are trained 
    to 
    murder 
    at the 

    first 
    sign 
    of 
    threat 

    Maybe 
    it's 
    the 
    year 
    of the 

    waterbug 

    Cockroach 
    utter 
    thug 
    specimen 

    Your 
    re
    sponse, 

    dream
    ing 
    of 
    your next 
    of kin 

    I'm 
    still 
    dealing 
    with 
    this 
    mess 
    I'm 
    in 

    I've 
    been the 
    object 
    of 
    your ridicule 

    You've 
    been 
    bitch 
    lieutenant 

    God 
    it's 
    the 
    year 
    of the 

    underpaid 
    employee 

    Spitting 
    forty 
    plus 
    a week 

    And 
    trying 
    to 
    rape 
    earth 
    on my 
    off 
    time 

    You 
    bought 
    dizzy, 

    I can't 
    keep 
    myself 
    busy 
    enough 

    So 
    you 
    can 
    run 
    run 
    run 

    And 
    I'ma 
    let 
    you think 
    you 
    won 

    EVERYBODY!

      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 🙂

      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.
