Verse 7
Am
Within every city and town
there's a madison
Frozen lives for whom
nothing's happening
Hungry children is a mother's
dilemma
Dumpster diving to feed her
baby emma
So you walk on by like
it doesn't affect you
The held out hand that you
pay no respect to
Nickels and dimes won't
even buy your guilt
Another wino burnt to death in his quilt
It's a cardboard city,
newspaper metropolis
The system can't cope or keep
on top of this
The authorities come as you're
not for display
Do they solve the problem no they
move him away
They're in a vicious circle
of no fixed abode
The social won't pay 'em the
money they're owed
When you've got no money
you can't pay rent
Hypothermia kills ''cause the

Verse 10
In the subway sits a vacuous man
His grip on life is a bent tin can
It's a holy shrine where he burns his light
It makes things easy
and removes his plight
For an hour or two but
he can't escape
They're all penned in with
government tape
Em
Am
There are good samaritans
who bring the soup
The sally army with their
bibles and boots
You can see yourself as it's not too far
One short trip you don't who they are
Till the night comes then
it all comes back
Like the smell of patchouli and
G
the armies of rats
Am
It's a shame to be human
it's a human shame
It seems we've forgotten we're one

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
