    Verse 1
    There's 
    something 
    in 
    the 
    water, 

    something 
    sick 
    in 
    the blood 
    and 
    the 
    oil 

    See 
    the white 
    chicken 
    grinning, 

    see 
    the ser
    pent 
    in 
    a horrible 
    coil 

    Don't 
    be scared 
    by 
    the stares 
    of 

    the peasants 
    on 
    the subway 
    car 

    Because 
    the way 
    things 
    seem 
    in 
    a dream 

    is 
    just 
    the way 
    that 
    they 
    are 

    And 
    I 
    can 
    feel 
    God 
    taking 
    his 
    eyes 
    off 
    you, 

    you 
    were 
    born 
    for 
    American 
    soil, 
    oh, 
    yes 

    Verse 2

    Every 
    race 
    has 
    its 
    place, 

    every 
    na
    tion 
    fights 
    for 
    spe
    cies' survival 

    I'm 
    a Jew 
    through 
    and 
    through 
    and 

    I'm 
    about 
    to 
    write 
    you 
    a 
    Bible 

    Now, 
    let 
    me take 
    your 
    hand 
    and show 
    you through 

    the twisted 
    hallways 
    of 
    The House 
    of Song 

    We 
    got 
    the magazine 
    wallpaper 
    and 

    a mil
    lion 
    dollar 
    bills 
    on 
    the 
    lawn 

    Oh, 
    and 
    I 
    can 
    feel 
    God 
    taking 
    his 
    eye
    s off 
    us, 

    we 
    were 
    born 
    for 
    American 
    soil 

    Verse 3
    Ah- ah, 
    ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- 
    ah 

    Ooh, 
    ooh, 
    ooh 

    Verse 4

    You 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    be 
    clever 
    to 
    detect 

    a 
    big 
    Americ
    an 
    sadness 

    When 
    the 
    population 
    rules, 

    every 
    man 
    has 
    his 
    hand 
    in 
    the 
    madness 

    Well, 
    there's 
    a 
    dead 
    grove 
    of trees 
    you 

    can 
    visit 
    on 
    the 
    outside 
    of town 

    And 
    there's 
    a di
    gital 
    dust 
    inside 

    the cemetery 
    settling 
    down 

    Ooh, 
    and 
    I 
    can 
    feel 
    God 
    taking 
    his 
    eye
    s 
    off 
    us, 

    we 
    were 
    born 
    for 
    American 
    soil 

    Ah- ah- 
    ah- 
    ah- ah- ah- ah 

    Verse 5

    Well, 
    now 
    we 
    have seen 
    every 
    baby 
    has 
    to 

    have 
    some 
    kind 
    of 
    mother 
    and 
    father 

    But 
    the 
    child's 
    gone 
    wild 
    and 
    the 
    piece 

    has 
    got 
    away 
    from 
    the 
    au
    thor 

    Well, 
    if 
    freedom 
    isn't 
    free, 

    all 
    the bills 
    must 
    just 
    be lost 
    in 
    the mail 

    And 
    the 
    highways 
    are 
    on 
    fire 
    and 
    the 

    serpent 
    is 
    now 
    eating 
    its 
    tail 

    Oh, 
    and 
    we can 
    feel 
    God 
    taking 
    his 
    eyes 
    off 
    us, 

    we 
    were 
    born 
    for 
    American 
    soil 

    Verse 6
    Ah- ah, 
    ah- 
    ah, 
    ah- ah 

    Ah- ah- 
    ah- ah- ah- ah- 
    oh, 

    Outro 1
    ooh

    • 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.”
