    Who 
    am I 
    Verse 1

    to say 
    what's 
    right 
    or wrong 

    But who 
    are you 
    to pull 
    the trigger 
    on 

    their 
    enemy 

    Young 
    man 
    joined 
    the 
    front 
    lines 
    to 

    still 
    his 
    stormy 
    soul 

    Now 
    all 
    that's 
    left 
    are 
    the 

    memories 
    of old 

    They 
    all 
    fall 
    down 

    Some 
    won't 
    sur
    vive 

    Trying 
    to 
    es
    cape 

    The 
    memory 
    of 
    what 
    they 
    became 

    tried 
    hard to be 
    proud 
    of my service 

    But, 
    all I could 
    feel was 
    Shame 

    The 
    racism could 
    no longer 
    mask 

    The reality 
    of the occupation 

    These 
    were people 

    These 
    were human 
    beings 

    I feel 
    guilt 
    any time 
    I see a 

    mother with 
    her children 

    Like the 
    one who cried 
    hysterically 

    And screamed 
    that 
    we were 

    worse than 
    Saddam 

    As 
    we forced 
    her from 
    her home 

    feel guilt 
    any time 
    I see 
    young 
    girl 

    Like 
    the one 
    I grabbed 

    by the 
    arm 

    And dragged 
    into 
    the street 

    We were told 
    we were 

    fighting terrorists 

    The real 
    terrorist 
    was 
    me 

    An
    d the real 
    terrorism 

    was 
    this occupation 

    Who 
    am I 
    to 
    say 
    what's 
    right 

    or 
    wrong 

    But 
    who 
    are 
    you 
    to 
    pull 
    the trigger 
    on 

    their 
    en
    emy 

    Young 
    man 
    joined 
    the 
    front 
    lines 

    to 
    still 
    his stormy 
    soul 

    Now 
    all 
    that's 
    left 
    are 
    the 

    memories 
    of 
    war 

    They 
    all 
    fall 
    down 

    Some 
    won't 
    survive 

    Trying 
    to 
    escape 
    the 

    memories 
    of 
    what 
    they 
    became 

    They 
    all 
    fall 
    down 

    Some 
    won't 
    survive 

    Trying 
    to 
    escape 
    the 
    memories 

    of 
    what 
    they 
    became 

    While those 
    weapons 
    are created 

    and owned 
    by this 
    government 

    They 
    are harmless 
    without people 

    willing 
    to use 
    them 

    Those who 
    send us 
    to war 

    Do 
    not have to pull 
    a trigger 
    or 

    lob a mortar 
    round 

    They do not 
    have to fight 
    the war 

    They 
    merely have to 

    sell the war 

    They need a public 
    whose willing 
    to send their soldiers 

    in
    to harms 
    way 

    They need soldiers 
    willing 
    to 
    kill and 

    be 
    killed without 
    ques
    tion 

    Soldiers, 
    Sail
    ors, 
    Marines, 
    Airmen 

    Have nothing 
    to gain from this 
    occu
    pation 

    The vast majority 
    of 
    people living 

    in the U.S. 

    Have nothing 
    to gain from this 

    occupation 

    In fact 
    not only 
    do 
    we 
    have 

    nothing to 
    gain 

    But we suffer 
    more because 
    of it 

    We lose 
    limb

    Endure trauma 

    And give our lives 

    Our families 
    have 
    to watch 
    flag 

    draped 
    coffins 
    lowered 
    into 
    the earth

    • 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.
