  • Intro 1

    The 
    kingdom 
    is 
    ransacked 

    The 
    jewels 
    all 
    taken 
    back 

    And 
    the 
    chop
    per 
    des
    cends 

    They're 
    hidden 
    in 
    the 
    back 

    With 
    message 
    written 

    on 
    half-baked 
    potato 

    The 
    spool 
    goes 
    'round 

    Sayin' 
    I'm 
    back 
    here 
    in 
    this 
    place 

    And 
    could 
    cry 

    And 
    there's 
    smoke 
    you 
    could 
    click 
    on 

    What 
    are 
    we 
    gonna 
    do 
    now? 

    Verse 1
    Taking 
    off 
    his 
    turban, 

    they 
    said, 
    "is 
    this 
    man 
    jew?" 

    'Cause 
    they're 
    working 
    for 
    the 
    clamp
    down 

    They 
    put 
    up 
    poster 
    saying: 

    "We 
    earn 
    more 
    than 
    you 

    We're 
    working 
    for 
    the 
    clamp
    down" 

    We 
    will 
    teach 
    our 
    twisted 
    speech 

    To 
    the 
    young 
    be
    liev
    ers 

    We 
    will 
    train 
    our 
    blue-eyed 
    men 

    To 
    be 
    young 
    be
    liev
    ers 

    Verse 2
    The 
    judge 
    said, 
    five 
    to 
    ten, 

    but 
    say 
    double 
    that 
    a
    gain 

    I'm 
    not 
    working 
    for 
    the 
    clamp
    down 

    No 
    man 
    born 
    with 
    living 
    soul 

    Can 
    be 
    working 
    for 
    the 
    clamp
    down 

    Kick 
    over 
    the 
    wall 
    'cause 
    government's 
    to 
    fall 

    How 
    can 
    you 
    re
    fuse 
    it? 

    Let 
    fury 
    have 
    the 
    hour, 
    anger 
    can 
    be 
    power 

    Do 
    you 
    know 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    use 
    it? 

    The 
    Bridge 1
    voices 
    in 
    your 
    head 
    are 
    calling 

    Stop 
    wasting 
    your 
    time, 

    there's 
    nothing 
    coming 

    Only 
    fool 
    would 
    think 

    someone 
    could 
    save 
    you 

    The 
    men 
    at 
    the 
    factory 
    are 
    old 
    and 
    cunning 

    You 
    don't 
    owe 
    nothing, 
    boy, 
    get 
    runnin' 

    It's 
    the 
    best 
    years 
    of 
    your 
    life 

    they 
    want 
    to 
    steal 

    Verse 3
    But 
    you 
    grow 
    up 
    and 
    you 
    calm 
    down 

    And 
    you're 
    working 
    for 
    the 
    clamp
    down 

    You 
    start 
    wearing 
    blue 
    and 
    brown 

    And 
    you're 
    working 
    for 
    the 
    clamp
    down 

    So 
    you 
    got 
    someone 
    to 
    boss 
    around 

    It 
    makes 
    you 
    feel 
    big 
    now 

    You 
    drift 
    until 
    you 
    brutalize 

    Make 
    your 
    first 
    kill 
    now

    • 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.
