    Verse 1
    Broken 
    glass 
    everywhere 

    People 
    pissing 
    on the 
    sta
    tion 

    Y'know 
    they just 
    don't 
    care 

    I can't 
    take 
    the smell 

    I can't 
    take 
    the noise 

    I got 
    no 
    money 
    to move 
    out 

    I guess 
    I got 
    no 
    choice 

    Rats 
    in 
    the front 
    room 

    Roaches 
    in 
    the 
    back 

    Junkies 
    in 
    the alley 
    with 
    a baseball 
    bat 

    tries 
    to get 
    away 
    but I 
    couldn't 
    get 
    far 

    Cos 
    man 
    with a truncheon 

    re- possessed 
    my 
    car 

    Verse 2
    Chorus: 

    Don't push 
    me 
    cos 
    I'm 

    close 
    to 
    the 
    edge 

    I'm 
    trying 
    not 
    to 
    lose 
    my 
    head 

    It's like 
    jungle 
    some
    times 

    It makes me 
    wonder 
    how 
    I keep from 

    going 
    un
    der 

    Verse 3

    My 
    son 
    said: 
    "Daddy, 

    don't 
    wanna 
    go to 
    school 

    Cos the 
    teacher's 
    a jerk, 

    he must 
    think 
    I'm a fool 

    And all 
    the 
    kids 
    smoke 
    reefer 

    I think 
    it'd be 
    cheaper 

    If 
    I just 
    got 
    job 
    learned 

    to be 
    a street 
    sweeper 

    I'll 
    dance 
    to the 
    beat, 

    shuffle 
    my 
    feet 
    wear 
    shirt 
    and 
    tie 

    And 
    run 
    with the 
    creeps" 

    Cos 
    it's all 
    about 
    money 

    ain't 
    a damn 
    thing 
    funny 

    You 
    got 
    to have 
    car 
    in 
    this 
    land 

    of 
    milk 

    and 

    hon
    ey 





    A child 
    is born 
    with no 
    state 
    of mind 

    Blind 
    to the 
    ways 
    of 
    man
    kind 

    God 
    is smiling 
    on 
    you but 

    he's frowning 
    too 

    Because 
    only 
    God 
    knows 
    what 

    you'll go 
    through 

    You'll 
    grow 
    in 
    the ghetto 

    living 
    second 
    rate 

    And your 
    eyes 
    will see 
    a song 
    of deep 
    hate 

    The 
    places 
    you play 
    and 
    where 
    you stay 

    Looks 
    like 
    one 
    great 
    big 
    alleyway 

    You'll

    and the 

    big 
    money 
    makers 

    Driving 
    great 
    big 
    cars 
    spending 

    twenties 
    and 
    tens 

    And 
    you 
    want 
    to grow 
    up to 

    be just 
    like 
    them 

    Smug
    glers 
    scramblers 

    burglars 
    gamblers 

    Pickpocket 
    pedlars 
    even 
    panhandlers 

    You 
    say 
    I'm 
    cool 
    I'm 
    no fool 

    But 
    then 
    you end 
    up 
    dropping

    • 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.
