    You're 
    doomed! 
    Enjoy 
    the 
    singing 

    The 
    sword 
    of 
    Damocles 
    is 
    swinging 

    And 
    if 
    hear 
    your 
    cell-phone 
    ringing 

    I'll 
    kill 
    you 
    myself 

    The 
    whole 
    being 
    dead 
    thing 

    Verse 1
    Death 
    can 
    get 
    person

    gonna 
    see 
    'em!"

    show 
    you 
    what 
    comes 
    next 

    So 
    don't

    times 
    week 

    So 
    just

    you'll 
    be 
    fine 

    Drink 
    your 
    fifty-dollar 
    wine 

    And 
    take 
    breath 

    Welcome 
    to 
    show 
    about 
    death 

    Verse 2
    You're

    na 
    die 

    I'll 

    I'll

    Just, 
    pee 
    where 
    you 
    want 

    The 
    whole 
    being 
    dead 
    thing 

    You're 
    just 
    gonna 
    love 
    the 
    folks 
    here 

    Yeah, 
    know 
    you're 
    woke, 

    but

    Dram
    a
    mine 

    Time 
    to 
    face 
    the 
    brutal 
    truth 

    'Cause 
    we're 
    all 
    on 
    hitlist 

    Might 
    not 
    live 
    'til 
    Christmas 

    Choke 
    to 
    death 
    on 
    Triscuits 

    Hey, 
    that's 
    just 
    statistics 

    So 
    take 
    little 
    break 
    here 

    Kinda 
    like 
    wake 
    here 

    The 
    scenery 
    is 
    fake 
    here 

    But 
    there's 
    giant 
    snake 
    here 

    Interlude 1

    Welcome 
    to 
    show 
    a
    bout 
    death 

    Verse 5
    You're 

    You're 
    gonna 
    be 
    fine 

    Thank 
    you 

    On 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    How 
    you 
    doin'? 

    Whoa, 
    not 
    good 

    Da-bot-ba-be-be-bap-bap 

    I'll 

    Hey, 
    I'll 
    be 
    your 
    guide 

    To 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    Seriously, 
    though, 
    this 
    is 
    show 
    about 

    Verse 6
    Death 
    is 
    taboo, 
    but 
    it's 
    hardly 
    something 
    new 

    There's 
    nothing 
    medical 
    professionals 

    can 
    do 

    'Cept 
    maybe 
    just 
    bill 
    you 

    (If 
    you 
    die 
    while 
    listening 
    to 
    this 
    album 

    It's 
    still 
    gonna 
    keep 
    playing) 

    There's 
    no 
    destiny 
    or 
    fate 

    Just 
    terrifying 
    wait 

    Filled 
    with 
    people 
    that 
    you 
    hate 

    And 
    on 
    certain 
    date, 
    the 
    universe 
    kills 
    you 

    That's the 
    thing 
    with 
    life 

    No 
    one 
    makes 
    it 
    out 
    alive 

    Verse 7
    Toss 
    that 
    body 
    in 
    the 
    pit 

    "Gosh, 
    it's 
    awful, 
    ain't 
    it 
    trag
    ic?" 

    "Blah, 
    blah, 
    Bible, 
    Je
    sus 
    mag
    ic" 

    When 
    you're 
    dead, 
    who 
    gives 
    shit? 

    No 
    Pilates, 
    no 
    more 
    yo
    ga 

    'Namaste", 
    you 
    freakin' 
    posers 

    From 
    the 
    cradle 
    to 
    cremation 

    Death 
    just 
    needs 
    little 
    conversation 

    have 
    mas
    tered

    So,

    On 
    the

    God,

    • 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.
