    Verse 1
    picked 
    the 
    morning 

    paper 
    off 
    the 
    floor 

    It 
    was 
    full 
    of 
    other 
    people's 

    little 
    wars 

    Wouldn't 
    they 
    like 
    their 
    peace? 

    Don't 
    we 
    get 
    bored? 

    And 
    we called 
    for 
    the 
    three 
    great 
    stimulants 

    Of 
    the 
    exhausted 
    ones 

    Artifice, 
    brutality 
    and 
    innocence 

    Artifice 
    and 
    innocence 

    Verse 2

    No 
    tanks 
    have 
    ever 
    rumbled 

    through 
    these 
    streets 

    And 
    the 
    drone 
    of 
    planes 
    at 
    night 
    has 

    never 
    frightened 
    me 

    I keep 
    the 
    hours 
    and 
    the 

    company 
    that 
    please 

    And 
    we 
    call 
    for 
    the 
    three 

    great 
    stim
    ulants 

    Of 
    the

    Release 
    us 
    and

    us 

    Deep 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    While madmen 
    sit 
    up 
    building 
    bomb

    And 
    making 
    laws 
    and 
    bars 

    They'd 
    like 
    to slam 
    free 
    choice 

    be
    hind 
    us 

    Verse 4

    I saw 
    little 
    law
    yer 
    on 
    the tube 

    He 
    said, 
    "it's 
    so 
    easy 
    now, 

    anyone 
    can 
    sue" 

    "Let 
    me show 
    you 
    how 
    your 
    petty 
    aggrav

    ations 
    can 
    profit 
    you"

    • 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.
