    had 
    such 
    Verse 1
    great 
    expectations 

    Of 
    the world's 
    benevolence 

    Of 
    benevolence 

    But 
    prefer 

    hallucinations 

    'cause 
    they 
    tend 
    to 
    make 

    more 
    sense 

    Than exper
    i
    ence 

    Verse 2

    'cause 
    it was 
    just 
    an

    other 
    sneak 
    attack 

    Of 
    tem
    porary 
    san
    ity 

    It was 
    pleasant 
    stay, 
    but 
    now 
    I'm 
    back 

    From 
    tem
    por
    ary 
    san
    ity 

    My 
    tem
    porary 
    san
    ity 

    Verse 3
    began 

    to grow 
    dependent 

    On 
    a thing 
    called 
    "common 
    sense" 

    It 
    was 
    common 
    sense 


    But my 
    world 
    grew 
    so 

    resplendent 

    That the strain 
    was 
    too 
    intense 

    Without 
    self- 
    de
    fense 

    Verse 4
    'cause it 
    was just 

    another 
    sneak 
    attack 

    Of 
    temporary 
    san
    ity 

    It 
    was 
    pleas
    ant 
    stay, 

    but 
    now 
    I'm 
    back 

    From 
    tem
    porary 
    san
    ity 

    My 
    tem
    por
    ary 
    sanity 

    Verse 5
    The 
    pool 
    spreads 
    across 
    the 
    pavement 

    Where 
    the sniper 
    made 
    him 
    lie 

    And 
    he 
    looks 
    just 
    like 
    my 
    youngest 

    And 
    I'm 
    watching 
    him 
    die 

    I must 
    remind 
    myself 
    I've 
    seen 
    this 

    It's 
    all 
    ancient 
    his
    tory 

    One 
    long 
    trail 
    of 
    twisted 
    bodies 

    As 
    the 
    strong 
    crush 
    the 
    weak 

    We 
    must 
    be 
    crazy 

    We 
    are 
    crazy 

    This 
    is 
    our natural 
    state 

    As 
    our 
    children 
    die 
    around 
    us 

    We 
    just 
    sit 
    here 
    and 
    wait 

    For 
    a little 
    temporary 
    san
    ity 

    Some 
    tem
    porary 
    sanity 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 6
    There's 
    chance 
    that we 

    would still get 
    the pic
    ture 

    If reality 
    just 
    came 
    up and 
    bit ya 

    But 
    the 
    news 
    team 
    would never 

    re
    port 
    it 

    Because 
    there's 
    too 

    much evidence 
    to 
    support 
    it 

    If 
    we were 
    stu
    pider, 

    the 
    problem 
    would van
    ish 

    But 
    our 
    brains 
    are much 

    more than 
    we can 
    manage 

    We 
    say we 
    want 
    something 

    so bad 
    we can taste 
    it 

    But 
    once 
    we 
    get 
    it, then 

    we turn 'round 
    and waste 
    it 

    We 
    got 
    twisted 
    fixation 
    with 
    marketplace 

    And 
    every 
    suffering 
    soul 
    is just 

    an
    other 
    face 

    We think 
    we're 
    being 
    manipulated 

    from 
    outer 
    space 

    It's the col
    lective 
    guilty 

    conscience 
    of the 
    human 
    race 

    We 
    get joy
    ful 
    when we 
    look 

    upon 
    lesser 
    man 

    A specimen 
    that we 
    can 
    be sure that 

    we 
    are 
    better 
    than 

    There is 
    no 
    shortage 
    of supply 

    of pride 
    and 
    vanity 

    There is 
    no 
    other explanation 

    but 
    insan
    ity 

    You're 
    listening 
    Verse 7
    to 
    prozac 

    While 
    the message 
    goes 
    unheard 

    It's 
    the final 
    word 

    Verse 8

    We 
    must 


    be 
    crazy 

    We 
    must 
    be 
    crazy 


    There's 
    no 
    explana
    tion 

    So 
    we 
    must 
    be 
    crazy

    • 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.
