    • Verse 1
    I 
    don't 
    know what 
    happened. 

    The telephone 
    rang 
    and I 
    answered. 

    The 
    man 
    on 
    the 
    telephone 

    told 
    me 
    my 
    bill 
    was 
    past 
    due. 

    I 
    told 
    the man 
    this 
    wasn't 

    even 
    my 
    phone. 

    Went over 
    the 
    line, 

    there came 
    such 
    a weird 
    tone. 

    Now 
    I'm speak
    ing 
    to 
    you 

    from deep 
    down 
    inside 

    someone's 
    computer
    . 

    They 
    don't 
    let me 
    eat 
    much, 

    they 
    basically 
    feed 
    me 
    on 
    lumber. 

    I'm 
    sorting 
    out 
    zip 
    codes 

    and 
    counting 
    the 
    cars 
    in 
    Beloit. 

    I'm 
    helping 
    young 
    Johnny 
    learn 
    geometry, 

    but 
    the dev
    il 
    he 
    cares 

    about 
    rescuing 
    me, 

    Though 
    he prob
    ably 
    knows 
    that I'm 

    trapped 
    deep 
    inside 
    his 
    computer

    I'm 
    not 
    alone, 

    there's 
    a bunch 
    of us 

    down 
    here 
    to
    gether 

    Clean 
    living 
    folks 

    who 
    are trying 
    to 
    get 
    by 
    some
    how 

    None 
    of 
    us knows 
    what 
    the 
    Sam 

    Hill 
    we 
    did 
    to deserve 
    this 

    Each 
    of us 
    heard 
    a 
    mysterious 
    tone 

    and 
    then 
    bowed. 

    I 
    hate 
    adding 
    numbers, 

    so guess 
    what 
    I'm 
    doing 
    forever
    . 

    I'm 
    running 
    a 
    mailing 
    list, 

    dunning some 
    dead 
    beats 
    for Sears. 

    I'd 
    love 
    to play 
    Pac 
    -Man 
    or 
    Star 
    Wars, 

    but 
    no, 
    we're 
    too ser
    ious 
    here. 

    We're 
    all 
    business, 

    so 
    I'm 
    a 
    yuppie 
    forever, 

    deep 
    down 
    inside 
    someone's 

    com
    puter. 

    Now 
    that I 
    think 
    of 
    it, 

    lots 
    of my 
    friends 
    have gone 
    miss
    ing. 

    Do 
    you 
    suppose 
    that 
    it 
    got 
    them 

    the 
    way it 
    got 
    me? 

    Hard 
    workin' 
    guys 

    who 
    were hard 
    put 

    to 
    add 
    on 
    their 
    fingers 

    Slav
    ing 
    their 
    lives 
    away, 

    running 
    somebody's 
    PC 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    not 
    gonna 
    panic, 

    I'm 
    carefully 
    taking 
    my 
    bearings 

    And 
    one 
    of these 
    days 
    when I'm 
    ready, 

    I'm 
    making 
    my 
    move 

    Till 
    then, 
    keep 
    on 
    watchin' 

    your 
    monitor 
    screen 

    If 
    you see 
    some 
    poor devil 
    in 
    blue, 

    red, 
    and green 

    It's 
    just 
    me, 
    I'm 
    still 
    trapped 
    here 

    deep 
    down 
    inside 

    someone's 
    com
    puter 

    It's 
    just 
    me, 
    I'm still 
    trapped 
    here 

    deep 
    down 
    inside 
    someone's 
    com
    puter 
    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

      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

      "

      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.
