    Verse 1
    The nazis 
    that we 
    hired 

    For 
    our 
    wedding 
    band 

    Played 
    your 
    anthem 
    like 
    I 
    wasn't 
    there 

    For 
    the 
    father 
    daughter 
    dance 

    From 
    the 
    boondocks of 
    Egypt 

    To the 
    nosebleeds 
    at Cal
    vary 

    Recite 
    your 
    history 
    of 
    oppression, 
    babe 

    While 
    you 
    are 
    under 
    me 

    There's 
    no 
    doubt
    ing 
    the 
    devotion 

    My 
    an
    cestors 
    had 
    for yours 

    Now 
    we've 
    got 
    all 
    the 
    love 
    to pay 
    for 

    Like 
    a thou
    sand 
    different

    Verse 2
    A square 
    foot 
    of 
    empire 

    Around 
    the peep 
    show 
    slot 

    I see 
    an 
    avatar 
    of 
    mercy 

    With the same 
    damn 

    jeembles that 
    I've 
    got 

    The boss 
    wants 
    to 
    be anonymous 

    The tal
    ent 
    wants 
    to 
    be 
    seen 

    We 
    weren't 
    paying 
    for 
    your 
    body, 
    Lord 

    We 
    were 
    paying 
    you 
    to 
    leave 

    Now 
    who 
    will 
    watch 

    the chorus 
    line 

    Stretching 
    from 
    Reno 
    to 
    Rome 

    Listen, 
    Cherry
    , 
    I know 
    you 
    love 
    me 

    But say 
    you 
    love 
    me 
    'fore 
    you 
    go 

    Interlude 2




    Verse 3
    Val 
    Kilmer 
    had a 
    wall-length 

    Mirror 
    Mirror 
    just 
    over 
    there 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    sure 
    he's 
    someone 
    else 
    now 

    But 
    he 
    was 
    Bat
    man 
    when 

    he 
    lived 
    here 

    Maybe 
    he's 
    Yankee 
    Zulu 

    Just 
    wait
    ing 
    for 
    the 
    flood 

    And 
    maybe 
    Mac 
    the 
    Conqueror 

    With 
    the 
    severed 
    head 
    of 
    love 

    I've seen 
    him 
    wear
    ing 
    aviators 

    And 
    a 
    black 
    baseball 
    hat 

    Stalking 
    air
    ports 
    'cross 
    the 
    bardo 

    Quiet 
    as 
    a wildcat 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 4
    The wheel 
    is 
    turning 

    From 
    night 
    into 
    day 

    Everything's 
    in 
    transition 

    Everything 
    must 
    change 

    But 
    none 
    of 
    us 
    here 

    Will 
    ever 
    see 
    the promised 
    land 

    None 
    of 
    us 
    here 
    will be 

    there 
    for 

    Childhood's 
    end 

    I see 
    you, 
    you student 
    debtors 

    In the 
    watchtower 
    overhead 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    head
    lights 

    in the 
    driveway 

    Cryin', 
    "Dad, 
    look 
    what 
    they 
    did" 

    Just 
    look 

    Even 
    their 
    romance 
    made 
    us 

    masters 
    and slaves 

    But 
    now 
    thing
    s 
    keep 
    getting 
    worse 

    While 
    staying 
    so 
    eerily 
    the 
    same 

    Come 
    build 
    your 
    buri
    al 
    grounds 

    on 
    our burial 
    grounds 

    But you 
    won't 
    kill 
    death 
    that 
    way 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    'bout 
    you, but 

    I'll 
    take 
    the 
    love 
    songs 

    And 
    give 
    you 
    the fu
    ture 
    in 
    exchange 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    'bout 
    you, 

    but I'll 
    take 
    the 
    love 
    songs 

    If this 
    cen
    tury's 
    here 
    to stay 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    'bout 
    you, 

    but I'll 
    take 
    the 
    love 
    songs 

    And 
    the great 
    distance 
    that

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
