    Here's 
    to the State 
    Verse 1
    of 
    Richard Nix
    on 

    For 
    un
    derneath 
    his borders 

    the 
    dev
    il draws 
    the 
    line 

    If 
    you 
    drag 
    his muddy 
    rivers 

    nameless 
    bod
    ies 
    you will find 

    And 
    the 
    fat trees 
    of the 
    forest 

    have 
    hid a thousand 
    crimes 

    And 
    the 
    calendar 
    is ly
    in' 
    when 

    it 
    reads 
    the present 
    time 

    Oh, 
    here's 
    to the 
    land 
    you've 

    torn 
    out 
    the 
    heart of 

    Richard 
    Nixon, 
    find 
    yourself 
    another 

    coun
    try to 
    be part 
    of 

    And here's 
    to 
    the 
    schools 

    of Richard 
    Nixon 

    Where 
    they're teach
    in' all 
    the children 

    they 
    don't have 
    to care 

    All the rudi
    ments 
    of hatred 

    are 
    present 
    everywhere 

    And 
    every single 
    classroom 
    is 

    a factory 
    of 
    despair 

    Oh, there's 
    nobody 
    learn
    in' 
    such 

    for
    eign 
    word as 
    "fair" 

    Oh, 
    here's 
    to the 
    land 
    you've 

    torn 
    out 
    the heart 
    of 

    Richard 
    Nixon, 
    find 
    yourself 
    another 

    coun
    try 
    to be 
    part 
    of 

    And here's 
    to the laws 
    of 
    Richard Nix
    on 

    Where the 
    wars 
    are fought 

    in secret, Pearl Harbor 
    every day 

    He 
    punishes 
    with income 
    tax 

    that 
    he 
    don't 
    have to pay 

    And 
    he's tapping his 
    own 
    brother 
    just to hear what 

    he 
    would 
    say 

    But corruption can be 
    clas
    sic in 

    the 
    Richard Nix
    on 
    way 

    Oh, 
    here's 
    to the 
    land 
    you've 

    torn 
    out 
    the 
    heart 
    of 

    Richard 
    Nixon 
    find 
    yourself 
    an

    other coun
    try to 
    be part 
    of 

    And here's 
    to 
    the churches 
    of Richard 

    Nixon 
    and Billy 
    Graham 

    Where 
    the cross, 
    once 
    made of silver, 

    now 
    is caked with 
    rust 

    And the Sunday 
    mornin' 

    sermons 
    pander 
    to their 
    lust 

    All 
    the fallen 
    face 
    of Jesus 

    is chok
    in' in 
    the dust 

    And 
    Heaven 
    only knows 
    in 

    which God 
    they 
    can 
    trust 

    Oh, 
    here's 
    to the 
    land 
    you've 

    torn 
    out 
    the 
    heart 
    of 

    Richard 
    Nixon 
    find 
    yourself 
    another 

    coun
    try to 
    be 
    part 
    of 

    And here's 
    to 
    the 
    government 

    of Richard 
    Nixon 

    In 
    the swamp 
    of their 
    bur
    eaucracy 

    they're 
    always 
    boggin' 
    down 

    And crim
    inals 
    are posing 
    as 
    ad

    visors to 
    the crown 

    And they hope 
    that no 
    one sees 
    the sights 

    and no 
    one hears 
    the sound 

    And the speeches 
    of the Pres
    ident 

    are 
    the 
    raving
    s of 
    clown 

    Oh, 
    here's

      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

      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

      "

      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.
