    Verse 1
    ain't 
    nothin' 
    but 
    simple 
    man 

    They 
    call 
    me 
    redneck 
    reckon 
    that 
    am 

    But 
    there's 
    things 
    going 
    on 

    That 
    make 
    me 
    mad 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    core. 

    have 
    to 
    work 
    like 
    dog 
    to 
    make 
    ends 
    meet 

    There's 
    crooked 
    politicians 

    and 
    crime 
    in 
    the 
    street 

    And 
    I'm 
    madder'n 
    hell 

    and 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    take 
    it 
    no 
    more 

    Verse 2
    We 
    tell 
    our 
    kids 
    to 
    just 
    say 
    no 

    Then 
    some 
    panty 
    waist 
    judge 

    lets 
    drug 
    dealer 
    go 

    Slaps 
    him 
    on 
    the 
    wrist 

    and 
    then 
    he 
    turns 
    him 
    back 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    town. 

    Now 
    if 
    had 
    my 
    way 
    with 
    people 
    sellin' 
    dope 

    I'd 
    take 
    big 
    tall 
    tree 

    and 
    short 
    piece 
    of 
    rope 

    I'd 
    hang 
    'em 
    up 
    high 

    and 
    let 
    'em 
    swing 
    'til 
    the 
    sun 
    goes 
    down 


    Chorus 1
    Well, 
    you 
    know 
    what's 
    wrong 

    with 
    the 
    world 
    today 

    People 
    done 
    gone 
    and 
    put 
    their 
    Bibles 
    away 

    They're 
    living 
    by 
    the 
    law 
    of 
    the 
    jun
    gle, 

    not 
    the 
    law 
    of 
    the 
    land 

    The 
    Good 
    Book 
    says 
    it 

    so 
    know 
    it's 
    the 
    truth 

    An 
    eye 
    for 
    an 
    eye 
    and 
    tooth 
    for 
    tooth 

    You 
    better 
    watch 
    where 
    you 
    go 

    and 
    re
    member 
    where 
    you 
    been 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    see 
    it, 

    I'm 
    simple 
    man 

    Verse 3
    Now 
    I'm 
    the 
    kinda 
    man 

    that'd 
    not 
    harm 
    mouse 

    But 
    if 
    catch 
    somebody 

    breakin 
    in 
    my 
    house 

    I've 
    got 
    twelve 
    gauge 
    shotgun 

    waiting 
    on 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    So 
    don't 
    go 
    pushing 
    me 
    against 
    my 
    will 

    don't 
    want 
    to 
    have 
    to 
    fight 
    you 

    but 
    dern 
    sure 
    will 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    want 
    trouble 

    then 
    you'd 
    better 
    just 
    pass 
    me 
    on 
    by 

    Verse 4
    As 
    far 
    as 
    I'm 
    concerned 

    there 
    ain't 
    no 
    excuse 

    For 
    the 
    raping 
    and 
    the 
    killing 

    and 
    the 
    child 
    abuse 

    And 
    I've 
    got 
    way 

    to 
    put 
    an 
    end 
    to 
    all 
    that 
    mess 

    You 
    just 
    take 
    them 
    rascals 

    out 
    in 
    the 
    swamp 

    Put 
    'em 
    on 
    their 
    knees 

    and 
    tie 
    'em 
    to 
    stump 

    Let 
    the 
    rattlers 
    and 
    the 
    bugs 

    and 
    the 
    alligators 
    do 
    the 
    rest 



    Chorus 2
    You

    • 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.
