    Verse 1
    School 
    bell go, 

    "Ding! 
    Dong! Ding!" 

    The 
    children 
    all line 
    up 

    They 
    do what 
    they are 
    told 

    Take a little 
    drink from 

    the liar's 
    cup 

    Verse 2

    Mama 
    don't 
    really 
    care 

    If 
    what they 
    learn is 
    true 

    Or 
    if it's 
    only 
    lies 

    Just 
    get them 
    through 
    the factories 

    Into 
    pro
    duction 

    Ah, 
    get them 
    into 
    line 

    Verse 3
    Late 
    in the 
    afternoon 

    The 
    children 
    all come 
    home 

    They 
    mind 
    their manners 
    well 

    Their little 
    lives 
    are all laid 
    out 

    Verse 4
    Mama 
    don't 
    seem 
    to care 

    If 
    she may 
    break their 
    hearts 

    She 
    clips their 
    wings 
    off, they 

    never 
    learn to 
    fly 

    Poor 
    Mama 
    needs 
    a source 

    of 
    pride 

    A doctor 
    son she'll 
    have 

    No 
    what the 
    cost 
    to 
    manhood 

    or to 
    soul 

    Verse 5
    Sun 
    shine down, 
    brightly 
    shine 

    Down 
    on 
    all 
    the land 

    Shine 
    down 
    on the newborn 

    lambs 

    A butcher's 
    knife 
    is in his 
    hand 

    Verse 6
    Mama, 
    she 
    keeps 
    them 
    un
    prepared 

    To 
    meet the 
    enemy 

    That's 
    comin' 
    unto 

    us 

    Teach 
    them that 
    evil 

    dwells 
    across 
    the 
    sea 

    Lives 
    in a moun
    tain 

    Like 
    they see 
    on TV 

    Down in 
    Verse 7
    the 
    heart 
    of town 

    The 
    Devil 
    dresses 
    up 

    He 
    keeps his 
    nails 
    clean 

    Did 
    you think he'd be 

    boogeyman? 

    Oh, 
    mama's 
    stuck 
    with sagging 
    dreams 

    Verse 8

    She'll 
    sell a son 
    or two 

    into 
    some 
    slavery 

    That's 
    lucrative 
    and 
    fine 

    Just 
    teach them 
    not 
    to 

    criticize 

    Say, "Yes" to 
    bosses, 

    impress 
    the cli
    ents 

    Ah 
    teachers 
    of the world 
    teach 

    them to 
    fake it 
    well 

    Verse 9
    School 
    bell 
    go, 
    "Ding! 
    Dong! Ding!" 

    The 
    children 
    all line 
    up 

    They 
    do what 
    they are 
    told 

    Take a little 
    drink from 
    the liar's 

    cup

    • 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.
