    Verse 1
    You're talk

    ing to 
    the king 
    of 
    cata
    strophes 

    So 
    when I 
    hear 
    a fascism, 

    I would
    n't 
    put 
    it past 
    them 

    I 
    keep 
    singing 
    to 
    the second 

    when 
    they come 
    for 
    me 

    I've 
    read 
    to many 
    books 
    and 
    I 

    I 
    can
    't 
    ignore 
    the omens 
    or the 
    warning 

    Interlude 1
    signs 




    Verse 2
    You're talk
    ing to 

    the king 
    of 
    cata
    strophes 

    It 
    does
    n't 
    take 
    a lot 
    of might 

    to pic
    ture 
    some 
    calamity 

    That crazy 
    talking 
    did
    n't help 

    Cas
    sandra 
    much 

    The gift 
    of wooden 
    horses 

    You think 
    it's 
    full 
    of candy 

    but some
    times 

    Verse 3

    The secret 
    to 
    survival 
    in a world 
    like 
    this 

    Is 
    use 
    your 
    head, 
    before 
    your 
    fist 

    But every
    body 
    thinks 
    the way 

    to God 
    is 
    his 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 4
    You're look
    ing 
    at 
    the king 

    of 
    cata
    strophes 

    Pick 
    one, 
    just 
    anyone, 
    your typical 
    variety 

    It's 
    not 
    as though 
    nobody 

    saw 
    the 
    ocean 
    rise 

    Deny 
    it with 
    your dying 
    breaths 

    For 
    dollars 
    and the scientists 
    to say 
    those 
    lies, 

    such 
    lulla
    bies 

    Verse 5
    The secret 
    to 
    survival 
    in a world 
    like 
    this 

    Is 
    use 
    your 
    head, 

    be
    fore 
    your 
    fist 

    But everybody 
    once 
    think 

    the 
    Lord 
    is 
    his 

    Verse 6

    You're talk
    ing 
    to 
    the 
    king 
    of 

    cata
    strophes 

    You're free 
    to leave 
    the 
    room 
    if 
    you just 

    ground 
    your words 
    like 
    tyranny 

    It's 
    not 
    as though 
    we're 
    helpless, 

    and it 
    has 
    to 
    be 

    We left 
    a couple 
    notes 
    behind, 

    we 
    built 
    a wall 
    in Germany 

    Verse 7
    But pay 
    no 
    mind 

    Pay 
    no 
    mind

      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.
