Verse 1

Am

Violence is the fruit of

unreached understanding

That flowers from the lips of scoundrels
G
Am

It is a forest so dense

and rooted in our past

It tempts us to become lost in its darkness

And stinks like the piss test you

were forced to take

Just before you were told
G

that you didn't meet
Am

The standards of integrity that this or
G
Am

ganization strives to maintain
Verse 2
Am

Why are there no folk songs

about ATM machines

That produce the likeness of
G

the blazer of the trail of tears
Am

Issuing overdraft fees from

beyond the grave
G

Prison TV shows in an endless queue
Am

Con taining the robust

nourishment of a commissary

This is why we cannot afford
G
Am

to close an open casket

You protect no one by

obscuring the mirror

That reflects our own problematic reality

Allow me to ponder the role I play

In this pornographic
G

spectacle of black death
Am

At once a solution and a problem
G
A

Am

cause, an effect, a rejoice, a regret

Interlude 1
Am

Verse 6
Am

Savage is my name because Savage

is how I feel

When the radio wakes me up with

the words "suspected gunman"

My name is a warning for the acts

you are about to witness
G

Which contain images that
Am

some viewers may find disturbing

My name belongs to us all
G

So if they ask for yours give them mine
Am

My name is a threat
Verse 7
Am

Riot is an unfinished grave that was dug
G
Am

to deposit undepleted anger

Like barrels of uranium leaking

into something sacred
G
Am

It is a word to use to

delegitimize your unrest

And to make your resistance
Verse 8

into an overreaction
Am

The pink tube of paint called flesh

Used in portraits of chairmen

of boards and
G
Am

Men who clean up streets named

after those who fought

For erasing the lives they now
G
Am

claim to protect

What is an up and coming neighbor
G
Am

hood and where is it coming from?
Verse 9
Am

A cause, an effect, a rejoice, a regret

Violence is daily life

A promise a pact that the

world never kept

Violence is daily life

Am

A cause, an effect, a rejoice, a regret

What's wrong with the air you breathe?

The water you drink?

So ingrained in your daily reality

  • 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.
