    Verse 2
    [This is spoken with 
    the style and 
    accent of an 
    evangelist 

    preacher from the 
    southern United 
    States.] 

    Thank you 
    very much, Mr. Zappa. 


    Verse 3
    Ah, I'm very 
    pleased to be here 
    on behalf 
    of the Administration-- 
    the 
    most powerful 
    government 
    in the world. And, 

    uh, Mr. Fitzwater invited 
    me 
    to come 
    here 
    tonight 
    to create 
    some 
    balance, 
    because 
    there has 
    been 
    some 
    things 
    done by 
    Mr. 
    Zappa 
    that 
    I think 
    are 
    unfair 
    to our 
    coun
    try. 

    Verse 4
    think, 
    from the 
    beginning, 
    to say 
    that 
    this is 
    going 
    to be balanced, 
    when 
    he 
    has this 
    *lingerie* up here, 

    and mak
    in' fun 
    of 
    *children's toys*, as a beginning, 
    if 
    this is 
    what he 
    has in 
    mind, 
    think he's 
    wrong. 

    Verse 5

    It's 
    people 
    like 
    Mr. 
    Frank 
    Zappa 
    that 
    kept 
    the 
    Senate 
    from being 
    able 
    to 
    send 
    arms 
    to the democratic 
    freedom 
    fight
    ers in 
    Nicaragua! 
    And 
    I, for 
    one, 

    am headin' 
    down 
    there 
    my
    self, 
    as soon 
    as I 
    finish 
    up here 
    tonight. 

    Verse 6
    And 
    I want 
    the 
    elected 
    official, 
    Mr. 
    Charlie 
    Sanders 
    the Democrat, 
    to 
    remember 
    that "Democrat" 
    begins 
    with a 
    "D", just 
    like 
    DEMON! 
    And 
    we'll remember 
    you, 

    friend, 
    when it comes 
    votin' 
    time. 
    And 
    Margaret 
    Boyd[?] and 
    Carmen 
    Belacord[?], despite 
    ...[?] habit, 
    did 
    some help 
    to back 
    things 
    up. 

    Friends, 
    these 
    form
    s cost 
    Verse 7
    money. 
    And this 
    money 
    could 
    be going 
    towards 
    a more 
    powerful 
    military; this 
    money 
    could 
    be going 
    towards 
    driving 
    out 
    the 
    illegal 
    ali
    ens. 
    Instead, 

    Mr. 
    Zappa 
    wants 
    to have 
    a bunch 
    of young, 
    uninformed 
    18 
    to 
    21-year-olds 
    votin' 
    here, 
    and spendin' 
    your money. 

    Verse 8

    And I 
    just want 
    you 
    to know 
    that tonight, 
    *love* him 
    anyway. 
    Because 
    I've got 
    love 
    in my 
    heart, 

    and I'm 
    not 
    afraid 
    of 
    the fact 
    that 
    he 
    turned this 
    into 
    some 
    kind of 
    zoo 
    up 
    here. 

    Verse 9
    Sunday--that's 
    not 
    not 
    fair, 
    Mr. 
    Zappa--Sunday 
    night 
    night 
    used 
    to be 
    a night 
    in 
    which Americans 
    would 
    get 
    to
    gether. 
    They'd go 
    to their 
    place 
    of 
    worship, 
    and 
    they would 
    share. 
    And I 
    don't 
    know 
    why, 

    on 
    this 
    night 
    which 
    is 
    supposed 
    to 
    be 
    Valentine's 
    night, 
    there 
    aren't more 
    people 
    that 
    have a 
    heart 
    that have 
    a love 
    affair 
    with 
    America. 
    But 
    in
    stead, 
    they're 
    here 
    on Sunday 
    night, 
    worshipping 
    this 
    man 
    who's demon-possessed! 

    Verse 10
    ask 
    you, Mr. 
    Frank 
    Zappa, 
    what 
    kind 
    of 
    man 
    can 
    name 
    a child 
    Moon 
    Unit? 
    What 
    kind 
    of man 
    can 

    name 
    a child 
    Weasel? 
    What 
    kind 
    of man 
    can name 
    a child 
    Ohman? To 
    me, 
    it defies 
    the logic. 

    Verse 11
    And I'm 
    comin' 
    here 
    tonight 
    because 
    I want 
    to share 
    with 
    him, 
    just 
    the same 
    way 
    we're going 
    to give 
    spirit 
    power 
    to the 
    democratic 
    freedom 
    fighters 
    down 
    there, 

    our 
    brothers 
    that wanna 
    have 
    the 
    freedom 
    to 
    be 
    able 
    to have 
    a man 
    like 
    Pat 
    Robertson. 
    To have 
    a man 
    like 
    Mr. 
    Dole. 
    Restore, 
    America! 

    Verse 12

    And I'm 
    gonna ask 
    the 
    power 
    and 
    the joy 
    and the 
    power 
    of the 
    living 
    king 
    of 
    kings, 
    and 
    lot 
    of you here, 
    you 
    smut-minded, 
    musical 
    musical 
    people 
    say, 
    "King 
    of kings, 
    that 
    must 
    be Elvis". 
    No, 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    ask 
    for the 
    power 
    and ask 
    for 
    the 
    glory. 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    now, 

    I'm gonna 
    tell 
    you a 
    story. 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    drive 
    out the 
    demons, 
    friends. 
    I'm 
    gonna ask 
    you 
    to help 
    this 
    badness 
    end. 
    Come 
    on 
    Frank, 
    let's 
    have 
    story. 
    Come 
    on now 
    share 
    the 
    glory. 
    Do you 
    feel 
    the 
    power? 
    Come 
    on, 
    put out 
    the negativity...

      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.

      "

      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.
