    Trapped 
    in 
    skyscraper 
    office 
    space 

    Take 
    your 
    break, 
    escape 
    in haste 

    I'd 
    walk a 
    mile 
    for that 
    great 
    taste 

    Of 
    my 
    brand 
    I least 
    sing 

    Standing 
    there in 
    pears 
    and trees 

    Chat
    tering 
    teeth 
    and 
    trembling 
    knees 

    We 
    French 
    inhale 
    and then 
    we sneeze 

    And 
    sud
    denly 
    it's 
    spring 

    We're 
    the 
    new 
    street 
    people 

    We're 
    the 
    ones 
    you 
    see 

    Standing 
    outside 
    smoking 

    Where 
    the 
    air 
    is 
    free 

    So 
    far 
    you've 
    had just 
    two today 

    Maybe 
    you've 
    come 
    a long, 
    way 

    Down 
    40 
    flights, 
    what 
    can 
    I say? 

    Just 
    to get 
    that 
    hint 

    We 
    stand 
    around 
    the helpless 
    ones 

    With 
    the home
    less, 
    the winos, 
    the bums 

    We 
    teach 
    us 
    how to 
    suck 
    our 
    thumbs 

    Show 
    us how 
    to 
    quit 

    Ostracized 
    in 
    restaurants, 

    aeroplanes 
    and public 
    haunts 

    De
    prived 
    of 
    our 
    most 
    cherished 
    wants, 

    that 
    is 
    to 
    say the 
    weed 

    We 
    see 
    the 
    billboards 

    and we 
    long 
    to 
    live 
    there, 

    that's 
    where we 
    belong 

    Where 
    looking 
    cool 
    is never 
    wrong, 

    and it's 
    normal 
    to 
    need 

    We're 
    the new 
    street 
    people 

    We're 
    the 
    ones 
    you 
    see 

    Standing 
    outside 
    smoking 

    Breathing 
    free 

    A 
    thousand 
    toxic 
    natural 
    shocks 

    Fil
    ter 
    flavor 
    flip 
    top 
    box 

    Thank 
    God 
    when it's 
    five 
    o 
    'clock 

    That's 
    when we 
    go home 

    Be
    hind 
    closed 
    doors 
    every 
    night 

    Matches 
    flare 
    and 
    lighters 
    light 

    There 
    we 
    exercise 
    the 

    right 
    to 
    be 
    left 
    alone 

    Room
    s 
    fill 
    up with 
    acrid 
    haze 

    We 
    fill 
    up 
    our 
    favorite 
    ashtrays 

    It's 
    just 
    like 
    the 
    good old 
    bad 
    days 

    We 
    own the 
    air 
    in here 

    But 
    to
    morrow 
    we'll 
    be back 
    outside 

    Out 
    on 
    the street 
    where 

    we 
    can't 
    hide 

    Stripped 
    of dignity 
    and 
    pride 

    Suck
    ing 
    cigs 
    in fear 

    We're 
    the street 
    people, 

    we're 
    the 
    ones 
    you 
    see 

    Standing 
    outside 
    smoking 
    weed 

    Why? 
    Why can't 
    I 
    breathe?

      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.
