    she's got 
    her little house 

    He's got 
    his little car 

    They'll share 
    the cocktail 
    bar 

    She 
    likes to cook his 

    meals, you know 

    Something 
    that appeals 

    Sometimes 
    he works 
    til late 

    So his 
    supper has 
    to wait 

    But she 
    doesn't really mind 

    Cos he's 
    getting overtime 

    He puts 
    a bit away, 

    just for 
    that rainy 
    day 

    Cos every 
    little counts 

    When the cost 
    of living mounts 

    Lottery 
    each 
    week 

    Hoping for 
    that lucky 
    break 

    They would 
    take a trip abroad 

    Do the things 
    they can't 
    afford 

    She'd like 
    to have a fur 

    He'd like 
    a bigger car 

    They could buy 
    a bungalow 

    With furniture 
    for 
    show 

    He might think 
    of leaving 
    work 

    But he 
    wouldn't want to 
    shirk 

    He'd much 
    prefer to stay 

    And get an honest 
    days pay 

    He's got a life 
    of work 
    ahead 

    There's no rest 
    for the dead 

    She's 
    tried 
    to 
    make it 
    nice 

    He's 
    said thank you 
    once or 
    twice 

    Sys
    tem,

    system 
    - deprived 
    of any 
    hope

    system

    they 
    couldn't 
    cope 

    System, 
    system 

    System 
    - slaves 
    right from 
    the start 

    System, 
    system 

    System 
    - til 
    death 
    do them 
    part 

    Poor little 
    fuckers, 
    what a sorry 
    pair 

    Verse 9

    Had their lives 
    stolen 

    But they didn't 
    really care 

    Poor 
    little darlings 

    Just your ordinary 
    folk

    Victims 
    of the system 
    and it's 
    cruel jokes 

    Verse 10
    The 
    couple 
    views 
    the 
    wreckage 
    and 

    Dreams 
    of home sweet 
    home 

    They'd almost 
    paid their 
    mortgage 
    when 

    The 
    sys
    tem 
    dropped 
    it's 
    bomb

    • 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.
