    Verse 1
    I 
    walk 
    on 

    decrepit 
    bricks 
    and 
    kick 
    sticks 
    an
    d rusty 
    soda 
    cans 

    Simply 
    for 
    lack 
    of 
    better 
    stimulation 

    motiv
    ation 
    comes 
    and goes 

    like 
    gas 
    station 
    patrons 

    so sed
    ation 
    compensates 
    for 

    unexpected 
    vacations 

    (Thank you 
    ) 

    that's 
    my 
    pre-gratitude 

    Post-please 
    leave 
    leave 
    leave 
    me 

    alone 
    that's 
    just 
    my 
    rude 
    attitude 

    No 
    dysfunction 
    flipside, I'm 

    just 
    your 
    ordinary 
    citizen 

    They're 
    waiting 
    patiently 
    for 
    me 
    to sin 
    again, 

    but 
    then 
    again 
    (shit...) 

    I'm really 
    mommy's 
    little 
    angel, 

    but 
    that 
    angel 
    on 
    my 

    shoulder 
    got 
    strangled 

    For 
    trying 
    to 
    tangle 
    with 
    his 
    nemesis 

    he 
    caught 
    him on 
    the 
    wrong 
    day 

    And 
    got 
    cut 
    like 
    DJs 
    spinning 
    doubles 

    -(let the 
    fucking 
    song 
    play) 

    I'm on 
    my 
    way 
    to 
    the store, 

    ignoring 
    the city 
    to purchase 

    a 
    pack 
    of 
    marb reds 

    with 
    a stack 
    of rolled 
    pennies 

    I 
    could 
    go 
    for 
    Denny's, 

    and 
    my 
    stomach 
    holds 
    plenty, 

    but 
    my pockets 
    got 
    holes, 

    I 
    guess 
    the 
    goal 
    is to 
    stay 
    empty... 

    Quite 
    simply 
    put, 

    me 
    and 
    my 
    pockets 
    share 
    interest 

    I never 
    fall 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    that 
    pretty 

    green-eyed 
    temptress, 

    temptress, 

    twice 
    (yeah right) 

    I learned 
    my 
    lesson 
    the 
    first 
    time 

    I 
    just 
    couldn't 
    keep 
    up 
    with 
    that 
    ever-changing 

    Jordan 
    Jordan 
    line 
    of 
    foot 
    apparel 

    Parallel 
    to 
    many 
    clones, 

    my 
    eye's 
    vision 
    monochromes 

    With seven 
    shades 
    and 
    twenty 
    tones 

    Plus 
    I 
    breath 
    artistic, 

    they 
    eat
    ing everything 
    I'm 
    feeding 
    them 

    Put 
    my
    self 
    in 
    every 
    painting 

    and use 
    my 
    spit 
    as mat 
    medium 

    And 
    res
    ults 
    of 
    my 
    children 

    We 
    share 
    the 
    same 
    genes, 

    cast 
    the same 
    reflection 

    and interpret 
    the same 
    dreams. 

    like 
    whoa 
    (x3) 

    whao (x7) 

    Verse 2
    Chorus: 
    And at 
    night, 

    I 
    roam 
    these 
    streets 
    with 

    absolutely 
    no purpose 

    Feeling 
    like 
    I'm 
    worthless 

    But 
    con
    trary 
    to 
    my 
    last 
    statement, 

    I 
    feel 
    fine 

    Con
    tent 
    with 
    the fact 
    that 
    I 

    know 
    this 
    city's 
    mine 

    And 
    at 
    night, 
    I 
    roam 
    these 
    streets 
    with 

    absolutely 
    no 
    purpose 

    Feeling 
    like 
    I'm 
    worthless 

    But 
    contrary 
    to 
    my 
    last 
    statement, 

    I 
    feel 
    fine 

    Con
    tent 
    with 
    the fact 
    that 

    I 
    know 
    this 
    city's 
    mine 

    Verse 3
    I 
    walk 
    down 
    dead 
    end 
    streets 

    like 
    I 
    didn't 
    see 
    the 
    sign 

    Just 
    to 
    turn 
    around 
    and walk 
    back 

    That's 
    fine 
    and dandy, 

    but 
    what's 
    whack 
    is 
    the 
    fact 
    I'm 
    still 
    walking 

    ...like... 
    "thank 
    god 
    for 
    walkmans" 

    I'm only 
    yawning 
    because 

    these 
    simply 
    minded 

    mortals 
    make 
    me 
    sleepy 

    So 
    what 
    do I 
    do? 
    I 
    resort 
    to 
    TV 

    In 
    the seemingly 
    lousy 

    attempt 
    to 
    numb 
    my
    self 

    with 
    lackluster 
    images 

    An
    d insignificant 
    information 
    like 

    "Willis 
    was 
    really 
    Ty 
    Bridges" 

    just 
    to have 
    the 
    upper 
    hand 

    in monotonous 
    conversation, 

    and 
    for 
    lack 
    of 
    better 
    stimulation 

    I'm 
    painting 
    portraits 
    of 

    dysfunction
    al families 

    with 
    gloomy 
    faces 
    rock
    in; 

    "Don't Worry, 
    Be 
    Happy" 
    t-shirts, 

    and 
    and 
    you're 
    assuming 
    I'm 
    taste
    less? 

    You 
    misconstrue 
    it but 
    your 

    babies 
    will 
    embrace 
    it 

    The 
    basic 
    essentials 
    of 

    a very 
    bitter 
    young 
    man 

    that 
    kicks 
    rusty 
    soda 
    cans 

    and walks 
    on 
    decrepit 
    bricks 

    with 
    a 
    permanent 
    pair 
    of 
    headphones 

    trying 
    to make 
    these 
    lectures 
    stick 

    I'll let 
    the 
    protestors 
    picket, 

    like 
    they are going 
    to make 

    a 
    difference 

    And watch 
    them die 
    before 
    they 
    realize 
    that 

    their 
    cause 
    was 
    nonexistent

      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 🙂

      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.

      "

      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.
