    Verse 1
    I see 
    The Sword 
    of Damocles 

    is 
    right 
    above 
    your 
    head 

    They're try
    ing 
    new 
    treatment 

    to 
    get 
    you 
    out 
    of 
    bed 

    But 
    radi
    ation 
    kills 
    both 
    bad 
    and good 

    it 
    can not 
    differentiate 

    So to 
    cure 
    you 
    they must 
    kill 
    you 

    the Sword 
    of Damocles 
    hangs 
    above 

    your 
    head 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    Now 
    I have 
    seen 
    lots 
    of people 
    die 

    from car 
    crashes 
    or drugs 

    Last 
    night 
    on 
    33rd st. 

    I saw 
    a kid 
    get 
    hit 
    by 
    a bus 

    But this 
    drawn 
    out torture 

    over 
    which 
    part 
    of 
    you lives 

    is 
    very 
    hard 
    to take 

    To 
    cure 
    you 
    they 
    must 
    kill 
    you 

    the Sword 
    of Damocles 
    above 

    Interlude 2
    your head 




    Verse 3
    That 
    mix 
    of 
    morphine 
    and 
    dexedrine 

    we 
    use 
    it on 
    the street 

    It 
    kills 
    the pain 
    and keeps 
    you 
    up 

    your 
    very 
    soul 
    to keep 

    But 
    this 
    guess
    ing game 

    has its 
    own 
    rules 

    the good 
    don't 
    always 
    win 

    And 
    might 
    makes 
    right 

    the Sword 
    of Damocles 
    is 

    hanging 
    above 
    your 
    head 

    Verse 4

    It 
    seems 
    everything's 
    done 

    that must 
    be done 

    from 
    over 
    here 
    though 
    things 

    don't seem 
    fair 

    But 
    there 
    are thing

    that we 
    can't 
    know 

    maybe 
    there's 
    something 
    over 
    there 

    Some 
    other 
    world 
    that 
    we 
    don't know 
    about 

    know 
    you hate 
    that 
    mystic 
    shit 

    It's 
    just 
    another 
    way 
    of 
    seeing 

    the 
    Sword 
    of 
    Damocles 
    above 
    your 

    head

    • 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.
