    Verse 1
    Apehead's 
    brother wants 
    to 

    beat 
    up 
    Paul 

    The boys 
    have 
    gone 
    to 
    watch 

    Some 
    of 
    the 
    girls 
    are 
    down 

    at 
    the 
    mall 

    Justine's 
    got 
    cherry 
    cola 
    and 

    scotch 


    Later 
    on 
    it's 
    everyone 
    around 

    to 
    Beck's 

    Her parents 
    are 
    away 
    in 
    New 
    York 

    Sara, 
    well, 
    she 
    just 
    can't 
    bear 

    The stu
    pidity, 
    the 
    boredom, 
    the grind 

    She 
    stays 
    at 
    school 
    so 

    that she 
    can 
    hear 

    The sound 
    of 
    the 
    life 
    of 
    the 
    mind 

    Verse 2
    And 
    it's 
    noisy 
    up 
    there 

    It 
    rocks 
    me 
    like 
    a 
    mother

    Rosa 
    Parks 
    and 
    DNA 

    Joan 
    of 
    Arc 
    and 
    JFK 

    But 
    it's 
    noisy 
    up 
    there 

    (Noisy up 
    there) 

    It 
    rocks 
    me 
    like 
    a 
    mother

    Verse 3
    Oh, oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    Oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    Oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    She's 
    cut 
    'em 
    all 
    out 
    of 

    her so
    cial 
    circle 

    Won't 
    introduce 
    them 
    to 

    Lincoln 
    or 
    Frost 

    Doesn't 
    want 
    to 
    let 
    them 
    get 
    to 
    know 

    Keats 
    or Studs 
    Terkel 

    They'll 
    never 
    know 
    what 

    they 
    have 
    lost 

    But Sara, 
    well, 
    she 
    just 
    can't 
    bear 

    The stu
    pidity, 
    the 
    boredom, 
    the 
    grind 

    She 
    stays 
    at 
    school 
    so 

    that she 
    can 
    hear 

    The sound 
    of 
    the 
    life 
    of 
    the 
    mind 

    Verse 4
    And 
    it's 
    noisy 
    up 
    there 

    (Noisy up 
    there) 

    It 
    rocks 
    me 
    like 
    a 
    mother

    Co
    pernicus 
    and 
    Fortune's 
    Wheel 

    Plato, 
    Glenn 
    Gould, 
    and 
    the 
    New 
    Deal 

    And it's 
    noisy 
    up 
    there 

    (Noisy up 
    there) 

    It 
    rocks 
    me 
    like 
    a 
    mother

    Verse 5
    Sara 
    already 
    knows 
    pretty 
    soon 

    she'll 
    be 
    leaving 

    Well, she's 
    hoovered up 

    whatever 
    she 
    can 
    find

    But 
    she 
    doesn't 
    want 
    to 

    hear 
    about 

    Pregnancies, 
    foam 
    fights, 
    TV, 
    take- 
    outs, 

    have 
    sex, 
    weddings 

    The sound 
    of 
    the 
    life 
    she'll 
    leave 
    be

      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.
