    • Verse 1
    They 
    said 
    some 
    men 
    would 

    be 
    warriors 

    Some men 
    would 
    be 
    kings 

    Some men 
    would 
    be 
    owners 
    of 
    land 

    And 
    other 
    man-made 
    things 

    things 

    False 
    love 
    as 
    the 
    eternal 
    flame 

    Would move 
    some 
    to think 
    in 
    ring
    s 

    And 
    gold 
    would 
    be 
    our 
    power 

    And 
    other 
    fool
    ish 
    things 


    And 
    you 
    who 
    dream 
    of 
    liberty 

    Must 
    not 
    yourselves 
    be fooled 

    Before 
    you 
    get 
    to plea 
    for freedom 

    You've 
    agreed 
    to being 
    ruled 

    If 
    the 
    body 
    stays 
    a shackle 

    Then 
    the mind 
    remains 
    a chain 

    And 
    that 
    will 
    link 
    you to 
    your 
    destiny 

    Where 
    by 
    other 
    souls 
    are 
    slain 

    It 
    won't 
    take 
    long 

    It 
    won't 
    take 
    too 
    long 
    at 
    all 

    Three 
    men 
    in 
    a 
    desert 
    wander
    ing 

    One 
    is 
    know
    ing 
    and 
    two 

    are 
    scared 

    They say 
    time 
    is 
    in 
    the river 

    Oh but 
    the 
    river 
    is 
    not 
    there 

    Dry 
    in 
    spirit 

    Dry 
    in 
    body 

    Two 
    will 
    lend 
    themselves 
    to 
    death 

    And 
    in 
    grief 
    one 
    weeps 
    into 
    his 
    hands 

    And 
    drink
    s his 
    bitter 
    tears 

    'cause 
    it 
    don't 
    take 
    long 

    It 
    don't 
    take 
    too 
    long 
    at 
    all 

    No 
    it don't 
    take 
    long 

    You 
    may 
    say 

    I 
    don't know 
    what 
    you're 
    talking 
    about 

    And 
    I say 

    You 
    mean 
    to tell 
    me 
    that's 
    all 

    And 
    I 
    stand 
    before 
    you 
    now 

    I 
    am 
    hope
    ful 
    in 
    my 
    rage 

    You know 
    love 
    has 
    finally 
    called 
    for 
    me 

    I 
    will 
    not 
    wilt 
    upon 
    its 
    stage 

    But 
    you 
    know 
    still 
    smaller 

    than 
    my 
    nightmare 

    Now 
    do 
    I 
    print 
    upon 
    the 
    page 

    And 
    do 
    we have 
    to 
    live 
    in
    side 
    its 
    walls 

    To 
    identify 
    the 
    cage 

    'cause 
    it takes 
    so 
    long 

    Why 
    does 
    it 
    take 
    so 
    long 

    And 
    it takes 
    so 
    long 

    You may 
    say 

    I don't 
    really 
    care 
    what 

    you're talking 
    about 

    I'm gonna 
    ask 
    you 

    You trying 
    to tell 
    me 
    you don't 
    belong 

    I 
    am my 
    mother's 
    daugh
    ter 

    But I have 
    seen 
    myself 
    in 
    you 

    It's 
    this 
    blessing 
    that 
    I follow 
    now 

    And 
    so 
    I 
    must 
    speak 
    true 

    I 
    dreamed 
    of thousands 
    dy
    ing 

    It was 
    you 
    and you 
    and you 

    And while the 
    city 
    sleeps 
    so 
    quietly 

    There 
    is something 
    we 
    must 
    do 

    And it 
    won't' take 
    long 

    It 
    won't 
    take 
    too long 
    at all 

    It 
    won't 
    take 
    long 

    May 
    say 

    I don't know 
    if 
    I 
    want 
    to know 

    what 
    you're 
    getting 
    at 

    It 
    makes 
    me 
    want 
    to say 

    So 
    long 




    Grief 
    shall 
    come 
    in 
    measures 

    Only 
    grief 
    alone 
    will 
    know 

    And 
    you'll 
    see 
    it 
    on 
    your 
    fam
    ily 

    And 
    on 
    your own 
    face 
    it 
    will grow 

    Then 
    they'll 
    try 
    to keep 
    you 
    hungry 

    And 
    they'll 
    tell 
    you 
    to 
    eat 
    snow 

    You 
    know 
    pride 
    can 
    be 
    a moving 
    thing 

    If 
    we learn 
    the strength 
    of 
    no 

    And 
    it won't 
    take 
    long 

    It 
    won't 
    take 
    too 
    long 
    at 
    all 

    No 
    it won't 
    take 
    long 

    You may 
    say 

    I 
    don't 
    think 
    this 
    has 
    anything 
    to 
    do 
    with 
    me 

    Did 
    you ever 
    think 
    you 
    could 
    be wrong 

    At 
    noon 
    on one 
    day 
    coming 

    Human 
    strength 
    will 
    fill 
    the streets 

    Of 
    every 
    city 
    on 
    our 
    planet 

    Hear 
    the 
    sound 
    of 

    angry 
    feet 

    With business 
    freezed up 

    in 
    the 
    har
    bour 

    The kings 
    will 
    pull 
    upon 
    their 
    hair 

    And 
    the banks 
    will 
    shudder 
    to 
    a 
    halt 

    And 
    the 
    artists 
    will 
    be 
    there 

    'cause 
    it 
    won't 
    take 
    long 

    It 
    won't 
    take 
    too 
    long 
    at 
    all 

    No 
    it won't 
    take 
    long 

    And 
    you 
    may 
    say 

    I don't 
    think 
    I 
    can 
    be 
    a part 
    of 
    that 

    And it 
    makes 
    me 
    want 
    to say 

    Don't 
    you 
    want 
    to see 
    yourself 
    that 
    strong 



    Di
    vision 
    between 
    the peoples 

    Will 
    disappear 
    that 
    honoured 
    day 

    And 
    though 
    oceans 
    lie 
    between 
    us 

    Lifted 
    candles 
    light 
    the 
    way 

    Half 
    will 
    join 
    their 
    hands 
    by 
    moon
    light 

    The 
    rest 
    un
    der 
    the rising 
    sun 

    As 
    underneath 
    the 
    sun 
    and 
    moon 

    A 
    ritualed wailing 
    has 
    begun

    And 
    it won't 
    take 
    long 

    It 
    won't 
    take 
    too 
    long 
    at 
    all 

    And it 
    won't 
    take 
    long 

    And 
    you may 
    say 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    how 
    to be 
    a 
    part 

    of what 
    you're 
    talking 
    about 

    And 
    it 
    makes 
    me 
    want 
    to say 

    Come 
    on 

    Come 
    on 

    Oh beware 
    you 
    sagging 
    diplomats 

    For 
    you 
    will 
    not 
    hear 
    one 
    gun

    And 
    though our 
    homes 
    be 

    torn 
    and 
    ran
    sacked 

    We 
    will 
    not 
    be 
    undone 

    For 
    as 
    we let 
    ourselves 

    be 
    bought 

    We're gonna 
    let 
    ourselves 
    be 
    free 

    And 
    if you 
    think 
    we stand 
    alone 

    Take a 
    look 
    around 
    and you 
    will 
    see 

    We 
    are chil
    dren 
    in 
    the rafters 

    We 
    are babies 
    in the 
    park 

    We 
    are 
    lovers 
    at the 
    movies 

    We 
    are 
    candles 
    in the dark 

    We 
    are changes 
    in the 
    weather 

    We 
    are snowflakes 
    in Ju
    ly 

    We are 
    women 
    grown 
    together

    We 
    are men 
    who easily 
    cry 

    We 
    are 
    words 
    no 
    quickly 
    spoken 

    We're 
    the 
    deep
    er 
    side 
    of 
    try 

    We 
    are 
    dreamers 
    in 
    the 
    making 

    We 
    are 
    not 
    afraid 
    of 
    why

      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 🙂

      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 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.
