    • Verse 1

    I've 
    got 
    seven 
    days 
    to 

    sell 
    everything 
    I 
    own 

    Cause 
    truckloads 
    of us 

    are being 
    driven 
    from our 
    homes 

    I'm 
    prone 
    to using 
    logic 

    but the 
    logic 
    isn't 
    there 

    And since they 
    don't 
    care, 

    I'm 
    being teared 
    away from 

    the 
    country 

    And I'm 
    scared, 
    broken 
    glass 
    everywhere, 

    my 
    house 
    is left 
    bare 

    So 
    I 
    stare 
    into 
    the 
    sky, 

    I 
    see why my 
    heritage 

    makes 
    me a 
    criminal 

    I've 
    been beaten 
    so 
    hard, 

    my senses 
    are 
    minim
    al 

    My 
    country, 
    Tis 
    of Thee, 

    is the 
    song 
    that I 
    sing 

    But 
    being 
    led at 
    gunpoint 

    is 
    so 
    embarrassing 

    Life 
    I kerosene 
    and blanket
    s out 
    of rags 

    I got 
    clothes 
    on 
    my back 

    and 
    none 
    in my 
    bags 

    They 
    call 
    me white 
    freedom, 

    but 
    it's 
    not the 
    current 
    status 

    Each 
    step 
    that I 
    take 

    changes 
    my 
    appar
    atus 

    For 
    life, 
    since 
    this life 
    is being 
    taken 
    away 

    I'd 
    die 
    for this 
    country 
    on 
    any 
    given 
    day 

    I 
    stay 
    to the 
    back, 

    hoping 
    to 
    be forgotten 

    But with 
    every 
    step 
    I take, 

    I can 
    see I'm 
    treated 
    rot
    ten 

    I've 
    gotten 
    no respect, 

    certainly 
    it's 
    the 
    key 

    What's 
    being 
    done 
    to Jews 

    is now 
    be
    ing 
    done to 
    me 

    They'll 
    fight 
    for him, 

    but they 
    won't 
    fight for 
    me 

    Labeled 
    American, 
    but I'm 
    not 
    truly 
    free 

    I 
    see the 
    rising 
    sun, 

    my 
    flag 
    in stores and 
    stripes 

    Yellow 
    -skinned 
    American 
    really 
    has 
    no 
    rights 





    Another 
    day, 

    and 
    I'm lucky 
    to 
    catch my 
    breath 

    So 
    I pray 
    that 
    my life 

    will over
    come and 
    she 

    My 
    flesh 
    is weary 
    but my 

    soul is 
    strong 
    so I 
    keep 
    on 

    The 
    government 
    will 
    have us 
    caged 

    un
    til this 
    war is 
    gone 

    I've 
    bled 
    for this 
    country, 

    I've even 
    paid 
    the tax 

    But they 
    treat me 
    like the 
    enemy 

    cause I'm 
    just 
    a stinking 
    chap 

    Whispers 
    in the 
    night, 

    do you 
    really 
    hear? 

    Cause 
    I've overcome 
    my 
    fright 

    that 
    I'll be 
    here for 
    years 

    Sign 
    me up 
    for the 
    army, 

    I'll 
    find my 
    own 
    family 

    And 
    kill the 
    true 
    enemy 

    with 
    anything 
    you 
    hand 
    me 

    We 
    got no 
    options, 

    just 
    wait
    ing 
    for the 
    truth 

    And the 
    truth is 
    absolute, 

    but the 
    country's 
    come 
    unglued 

    Most 
    soldiers 
    silently 
    sen

    tence 
    us 
    to death 

    But their 
    wishes 
    are like 
    miracles, 

    they 
    can't 
    manifest 

    I'm 
    fresh 
    to your 
    reasoning, 

    I 
    even 
    understand 

    But the 
    com
    mon 
    actions 
    of 
    the guards 

    don't 
    treat me 
    like 
    a man 

    The 
    beat 
    of my 
    heart, 

    I 
    swear I'm 
    all 
    alone 

    I was 
    king 
    of my 
    world, 

    but 
    now I've 
    been 
    dethroned 

    I 
    know, 
    I 
    guess 
    I 
    need 

    a verge 


    The 
    heart 

    says 
    it's 
    time to 
    go, 

    I 
    need some 
    freedom 

    The 
    heart says 
    it's 
    time to 
    go, 

    I need 
    some freedom 

    The 
    heart 
    says 
    it's time 
    to go, 

    I need 
    some freedom 

    The 
    heart 
    says 
    it's time 
    to go, 

    I 
    think I'll 
    just sleep 

    I'm 
    sick of 
    being patient, 

    I need 
    to escape 

    I've 
    given 
    it some 
    time 

    but my 
    pride 
    will not 
    break 

    My 
    fate 
    is in my 
    hands 

    and it's 
    got 
    to be felt 

    I 
    can't 
    play 
    this 
    hand 

    with the 
    cards 
    that were 
    dealt 

    No 
    one else 
    seems 
    to feel the 
    same 

    So I'm 
    all 
    alone, 

    a free 
    soul behind 
    fences 
    like a 
    bull 
    without 
    bones 

    Sincere 
    letters 
    from 
    mothers 
    that 
    relate 

    I 
    watch 
    clever 
    mothers 
    die 

    for 
    sharing 
    food 
    off their 
    plates 

    There's 
    rules 
    and regulations, 

    you got 
    to follow 
    orders 

    My 
    country's 
    torn 
    against me, 

    so I'll 
    run 
    for its 
    borders 

    I'll 
    jump the 
    fence, 
    I 
    will survive 

    It 
    all 
    makes 
    sense, 
    just 
    don't 
    lose 
    stride 

    I 
    will provide, 
    I'll 
    stay alive 

    This 
    is 
    dedicated 
    to 
    my 

    people 
    that have 
    died 

    With 
    slanted 
    eyes, 
    you got 
    to think 
    twice 

    This 
    is 
    for 
    feeding 
    us 
    sushi 

    and 
    rice 
    chopsticks 

    Won't 
    stop 
    at all, my 
    profit 
    was 
    lost 

    I was 
    humble 
    till you 
    stumbled 

    Now 
    I've 
    been 
    crossed 

    Two 
    years 
    and ten 
    days 

    Locked 
    inside this 
    camp 

    An
    d I 
    can't 
    leave 
    till you 

    become 
    the 
    champ 

    Stand
    ing 
    on the 
    hand 

    I'll 
    take my 
    leave with 
    maps 

    Surround 
    myself 
    in 
    black 

    Leave with 
    all 
    of the 
    facts 

    What 
    are 
    we to 
    you? 

    Just a 
    bunch 
    of japs 

    Ten 
    feet outside 
    the 
    camp 

    And I was 
    shot 
    in 
    the back 

    Oh 
    no, 
    don't we 
    get 
    the 
    beat 
    of 
    my 
    heart 

    Oh 
    no, 
    don't we 
    get 
    the 
    beat 
    of my 
    heart 

    Oh 
    no, 
    don't we 
    get 
    the 
    beat 
    of my 
    heart 

    Oh 
    no, 
    don't we 
    get 

    the 
    beat 
    of 
    my 
    heart 

    All 
    alone, 
    no one 
    else 

    but 
    me 
    and my 
    heart

      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!!!

      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.
