    Verse 1
    Heard 
    of 
    van 
    that 
    is 
    loaded 
    with 
    weapons 

    Packed 
    up 
    and 
    ready 
    to 
    go 

    Heard 
    of 
    some 
    grave 
    sites, 

    out 
    by 
    the 
    highway 

    place 
    where 
    nobody 
    knows 

    The 
    sound 
    of 
    gunfire, 

    is 
    off 
    in 
    the 
    distance, 

    I'm 
    getting 
    used 
    to 
    it 
    now 

    Lived 
    in 
    brownstone, 

    lived 
    in 
    ghetto, 

    I've 
    lived 
    all 
    over 
    this 
    town 

    Chorus 1
    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    party, 
    this 
    ain't 
    no 
    disco, 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    fooling 
    around 

    No 
    time 
    for 
    dancing, 
    or 
    lovey 
    dovey, 

    Verse 2
    ain't 
    got 
    time 
    for 
    that 
    now 

    Transmit 
    the 
    message, 
    to 
    the 
    receiver, 

    Hope 
    for 
    an 
    answer 
    some 
    day 

    got 
    three 
    passports, 

    couple 
    of 
    visas, 

    You 
    don't 
    even 
    know 
    my 
    real 
    name 

    High 
    on 
    hillside, 

    the 
    trucks 
    are 
    loading, 

    Everything's 
    ready 
    to 
    roll 

    sleep 
    in 
    the 
    daytime, 

    work 
    in 
    the 
    nighttime, 

    might 
    not 
    ever 
    get 
    home 

    Chorus 2
    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    party, 
    this 
    ain't 
    no 
    disco, 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    fooling 
    around 

    This 
    ain't 
    no 
    Mudd 
    Club, 
    or 
    C. 
    B. 
    G. 

    Interlude 1
    ain't 
    got 
    time 
    for 
    that 
    now 



    Verse 3
    Heard 
    about 
    Houston? 

    Heard 
    about 
    Detroit? 

    Heard 
    about 
    Pittsburgh, 
    P. 
    A.? 

    You 
    oughta 
    know 
    not 
    to 

    stand 
    by 
    the 
    window 

    Somebody 
    see 
    you 
    up 
    there 

    got 
    some 
    groceries, 

    some 
    peanut 
    butter, 

    To 
    last 
    couple 
    of 
    days 

    But 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    speakers, 

    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    headphones, 

    Ain't 
    got 
    no 
    records 
    to 
    play 

    Chorus 3
    Why 
    stay 
    in 
    college? 

    Why 
    go 
    to 
    night 
    school? 

    Gonna 
    be 
    different 
    this 
    time 

    Can't 
    write 
    letter, 
    can't 
    send 
    no 
    postcard, 

    Verse 4
    ain't 
    got 
    time 
    for 
    that 
    now 

    Trouble 
    in 
    transit, 

    got 
    through 
    the 
    roadblock, 

    We 
    blended 
    in 
    with 
    the 
    crowd 

    We 
    got 
    computers, 

    we're 
    tapping 
    phone 
    lines, 

    know 
    that 
    that 
    ain't 
    allowed 

    We 
    dress 
    like 
    students, 

    we 
    dress 
    like 
    housewives, 

    Or 
    in 
    suit 
    and 
    tie 

    changed 
    my 
    hairstyle, 

    so 
    many 
    times 
    now, 

    don't 
    know 
    what 
    look 
    like! 

    Verse 5
    You 
    make 
    me 
    shiver, 

    feel 
    so 
    tender, 

    We 
    make 
    pretty 
    good 
    team 

    Don't 
    get 
    exhausted, 

    I'll 
    do 
    some 
    driving, 

    You 
    ought 
    to 
    get 
    you 
    some 
    sleep 

    Burned 
    all 
    my 
    notebooks, 

    what 
    good 
    are 
    notebooks? 

    They 
    won't 
    help 
    me 
    survive 

    My 
    chest 
    is 
    aching, 

    burns 
    like 
    furnace, 

    The 
    burning 
    keeps 
    me 
    alive

    • 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.
