    Verse 1
    My 
    Nurse 


    My my mother 
    in 
    a mud 
    brick room 

    She 
    weaves 
    her days 
    on 
    blanket 
    balloon 

    face 
    conscription 
    when 
    I reach 
    eight
    een 

    Old 
    men 
    starve 
    and 
    widows 
    sigh 

    Behind 
    the fences 
    corn 
    grows 
    high 

    And 
    every 
    night 
    there's 
    a disco 

    For 
    the 
    bills 
    and 
    the marketeers 

    Backland 
    owners 
    know 
    no 
    shame 

    Trades 
    with 

    Franks 
    and 
    quaff champagne 

    In 
    the hills 
    they 
    grow 
    cocaine 

    For 
    the 
    dealers 
    from 
    the 
    north 

    There's 
    no 
    grave 
    for 
    heroes 
    here 

    Some 
    speak 
    out 
    in 
    tongue 
    of 
    fear 

    Every 
    week 
    more 
    disappear 

    There's 
    blood 
    upon 
    the 
    re

    ins 


    Pow 
    -mow, 
    soft 
    -packs, 

    American 
    guns 

    Govern
    ment 
    troops 
    bask 

    in 
    the sun

    Drawing 
    straws 
    for the 
    whores 

    from the 
    shanty 
    town

    Beneath 
    the truncheon 

    you 
    bow 
    and scrape 

    You 
    learn 
    to hustle, 
    you 
    learn 
    to hate 

    Bolt 
    the doors 
    when squads 
    patrol 

    And 
    terror 
    stalks 
    the night 

    Suffer 
    my 
    country, 
    chil
    dren 
    weep 

    So 
    much 
    pain, 
    oh so 
    deep 

    People 
    sow 
    and 
    the 
    fas
    cists 
    reap 

    And 
    conscience 
    has 
    no 
    name 

    new 
    beginning 
    or 
    hangman's 
    rope 

    While 
    caution 
    slept, 
    our 
    courage 
    wove 

    We 
    took 
    up arms, 
    we 
    took 
    up hope 

    There's 
    blood 
    upon 
    the 
    rain 




    Cut 
    your 
    life 
    in 
    each 
    short 
    breath 

    Another 
    skirmish, 
    a nameless 
    death 

    The 
    tracks 
    are mined, 

    there's snipers 
    in 
    the trees 

    The 
    mountain 
    mists 
    hide 
    for years 

    Our 
    silent 
    power, 
    bathing 
    tears 

    The 
    valley 
    streams 
    are poisoned 

    And 
    the 
    gunships 
    scour 
    the plains 

    Cock 
    your rifle, 
    mumble 
    prayers 

    Lie 
    in 
    ambush, 
    wet and 
    scared 

    Far 
    from towns 
    where 

    Dalai's 
    stare 
    and tequila 
    loosens 
    tongues 

    Feel 
    the strength, 
    feel 
    the fire, 

    nation 
    caged 
    behind 
    barbed 
    wire 

    million 
    hearts 
    with 
    one 
    desire, 

    there's 
    blood 
    upon 
    the rain 

    Compañeros, 
    eyes 
    that shine, 

    closest 
    brothers 
    we 
    pass 
    the wine 

    The 
    fu
    ture's 
    ours, 

    seize 
    the time 
    and 
    fan 
    the 
    rising 
    flame 

    Kill 
    the beast, 
    and 
    life 
    begins 

    Si
    lently 
    we 
    spread 
    our 
    wings 

    If 
    harvests 
    fail, 
    we 
    reap 
    the 
    wind 

    As 
    blood 
    upon 
    the rain

    • 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.
