    Verse 1
    New 
    Christ 
    Cardiac 
    Hero(Janis Ian)Yesterday's preacher, 

    today's 
    bikini 
    beacher, They've 
    stolen 
    your 
    clerical 
    robe
    s and 
    your 
    Bible's 
    been 
    thrown. 

    Your 
    vir
    gin 
    red 
    crown 
    of 
    thorns 

    has 
    turned 
    to 
    ivory 
    horns 

    And 
    your 
    corner 
    thrown, 

    it 
    has 
    become 
    coroner's 
    stone

    The 
    crucifix 
    you 
    prayed 
    on 
    turned 
    to jail- 
    house 
    bars; It's 

    sil
    ver 
    chain 
    you left 
    out 
    in the 
    rain 
    to 
    glow 
    with 
    dust 

    And 
    turned 
    to 
    sea
    weed 

    tangled 
    in 
    your 
    heart. 

    Now 
    how 
    does 
    it 
    feel 
    to 
    pull 
    out 
    the nails 
    and 
    find 
    you still 
    can 
    walk? 
    Oh, 

    you 
    can
    't feel 
    it 
    all 
    from 
    your self 
    imposed 
    rack 
    on 
    the 
    wall. 

    The tighter 
    you 
    drive 
    the nails, 

    oh, the 
    harder 
    you'll 
    fall. 

    So, 
    come 
    on 
    down, 
    come 
    off 
    it, 

    sir, 
    your 
    gonna 
    get 
    hurt. 

    The 
    holy 
    water 
    you 
    bathe 
    in 
    mingles 
    with 
    the 
    sewer, 
    All 
    your 
    disciples 
    have 
    re
    claimed 
    their 
    rifles 
    and 
    taken 
    the cure, 

    Your 
    lectures 
    of ways 
    are 
    only 
    today's 
    pool 
    room 
    jokes 

    Sprawled 
    on 
    the walls 
    of 
    tenement 

    hall
    s an 
    dbath
    room bowls. 

    As 
    jingle 
    bells 
    cry 
    pay 
    us 
    well 
    or 
    you'll 
    go 
    to 
    hell, 

    Freedom's 
    chains 
    bind 
    your 
    pain 
    and 
    tie 
    you 
    well. 

    But 
    how 
    could 
    you 
    know 
    the gal
    lows 
    you hold 
    weighs 
    you 
    down? 

    Now 
    isn't 
    it 
    boss 
    you don't 
    need 
    a cross 
    to 
    get 
    around. 

    Oh, 
    you 
    can't 
    feel 
    it 
    all 
    from 
    your self 

    im
    posed 
    rack 
    on 
    the wall. 

    The tighter 
    you 
    drive 
    the nails, 

    oh, the 
    harder 
    you'll 
    fall. 

    So, 
    come 
    on 
    down, 
    come 
    off 
    it, sir, 

    your 
    gonna 
    get 
    hurt. 

    The 
    eyes 
    that 
    cried 
    for 
    mankind's 

    pride 
    are covered 
    with 
    shades 

    As 
    the chil
    dren 
    of 
    God 
    trample 

    unshod 
    past 
    your 
    mindly grave.

    of 
    2000 years 
    past 
    your 
    mind 

    Spits 
    at 
    your 
    feet 
    crying, 
    "We 
    have 
    no 
    need 
    of 
    a god, 
    each 
    of us 
    is 
    his 
    own."Yesterday's preacher,

    You

    taken 

    you, God 
    and 
    shot

    • 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.
