    Verse 1
    When 
    they sell 
    the 
    final 
    weapon, 

    we 
    can 
    all 
    watch 
    it 
    blow 

    Keep 
    the 
    people 
    working, 
    working 

    Keep 
    the 
    people 
    working, 
    working 

    Keep 
    the 
    people 
    working, 
    working 

    Verse 2
    Gotta 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working 

    In 
    the 
    bed 
    of 
    iron 
    they 
    cast 

    the 
    final 
    weapon 

    Just 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working, 

    Verse 3
    got 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working 


    From 
    the mines 
    of 
    anatolia 
    to 

    the 
    isle 
    of 
    mandalay 

    Along 
    the coast 
    of 
    sullen 
    africa, 

    they're 
    queuing up 
    to 
    pay 

    No cause, 
    I 
    don't 
    discriminate, 

    I sell 
    to 
    those 
    who 
    buy 

    There 
    never 
    was 
    an 
    innocent 
    who 

    didn't 
    want 
    to 
    die 

    And 
    with 
    demand 
    upon 
    the 
    increase 

    what 
    could 
    keep 
    the 
    cost 
    down 

    If 
    I 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    fighting, 

    I 
    can 
    really 
    go 
    to 
    town 

    No 
    surprise, 
    the 
    cash 
    you 
    borrow, 

    we 
    can 
    close 
    the deal 
    tomorrow 

    Just 
    swiss 
    francs 
    or dollars 
    won't 

    Verse 4
    cause 
    me 
    any 
    borrow, 
    boy 

    In 
    a 
    bed 
    of 
    iron 
    they 
    cast 
    the 
    final 
    weapon 

    Just 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working, 

    got 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working 

    In 
    a 
    bed 
    of 
    iron 
    they 
    cast 
    the 
    final 
    weapon 

    Just 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working, 

    Verse 5
    got 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working 

    Everybody 
    itching 
    for 
    someone 

    to 
    serve 
    the task 

    I'll 
    arm 
    the 
    politician 
    for 
    the 
    coup, 

    the 
    crew, 
    the cast, 

    I 
    have 
    a score 
    of 
    different 
    faces, 

    I 
    can 
    look 
    like 
    a 
    lord 

    Seen 
    in 
    high 
    places, 

    Verse 6
    flying 
    on 
    the 
    concorde 


    Well 
    you 
    can 
    marvel 
    at 
    precision, 

    you 
    can 
    dial 
    a 
    telephone 

    Call 
    up 
    color 
    vision 
    from 
    the 

    safety 
    of 
    your 
    home 

    You 
    can 
    mount 
    the 
    great 
    offensive 

    from 
    a button 
    by 
    the 
    chair 

    If 
    you 
    arm 
    the 
    right 
    system, 

    you 
    can 
    ionize the 
    air 

    Verse 7
    In 
    a 
    bed 
    of 
    iron, 
    they 
    cast 
    the final 
    weapon 

    Just 
    to keep 
    the 
    people 
    working, 

    got 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working 

    In 
    a 
    bed 
    or iron 
    they 
    cast 
    the 
    final 
    weapon 

    Just 
    to 
    keep 
    the people 
    working, 

    got 
    to 
    keep 
    the 
    people 
    working 

    Like 
    the wind 
    across 
    the 
    frontier 

    or 
    the 
    breaking 
    light 
    of 
    day 

    I 
    push 
    across 
    the 
    mountains, 

    all 
    around 
    the 
    bay 
    of biscay 

    Verse 8
    Freeze 
    in 
    north 
    america, 
    boil 
    in 
    pakistan 

    All 
    along 
    the 
    amazon, 

    Verse 9
    from 
    the 
    fire 
    to 
    the 
    frying 
    pan 


    Whether 
    air, 
    sea 
    or 
    battle 
    ground, 

    desert 
    sand 
    or snow 

    When 
    they 
    sell 
    the 
    final 
    weapon 
    we 
    can 
    all 
    watch 
    it

      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

      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.

      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.
