    Verse 1

    Over 
    the 
    ashes 
    of blood 
    marched 

    the 
    civil
    ized 
    soldiers, 

    Over 
    the ruins 
    of 
    the french 

    fortress 
    of 
    a fail
    ure 

    Over 
    the silent 
    screams 
    of 

    the 
    dead 
    an
    d the 
    dying 

    Say
    ing 
    please 
    be 
    re
    as
    sured, 

    we 
    seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war. 

    The 
    treaties 
    were 
    signed, 

    the country 
    was split 
    in
    to 
    sections 

    But 
    grow
    ing num
    bers 
    of 
    prisons 

    were built 
    for 
    pro
    tec
    tion 

    Rapidly 
    filling 
    with 
    people 

    who 
    called 
    for 
    elec
    tion
    s 

    But 
    please 
    be 
    reassured, 

    we seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war. 

    Ngo Dinh diem 
    was 
    the 
    puppet 

    who danced 
    for 
    the power 

    The 
    hero 
    of 
    hate 
    who 
    gambled 

    on 
    hell 
    for 
    his 
    hour 

    Father 
    of 
    his country 
    was 
    stamped 
    on 
    the 

    medals 
    we 
    showered 

    But 
    please 
    be 
    reassured, 

    we seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war. 

    Machine 
    gun 
    bullets 
    became 

    the bloody 
    baptizers 

    And the 
    fal
    con 
    copters 
    don't 
    care 

    if 
    someone's 
    the wiser 

    But 
    the 
    boy 
    in the 
    swamp 
    didn't 

    know 
    he was 
    killed 
    by 
    ad
    visers 

    So 
    please 
    be 
    re
    as
    sured, 

    we 
    seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war. 

    And 
    fires 
    were spitting 
    at 
    forests 
    in 

    defoliation 

    While the people 
    were 
    pressed 
    into 
    camps 

    not 
    called 
    concen
    tration 

    And the 
    greater 
    the 
    victory 
    the 
    greater 

    the shame 
    of 
    the 
    na
    tion 

    But 
    please 
    be 
    re
    as
    sured, 

    we seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war. 

    While we 
    were 
    watching 
    the prisoners 

    were 
    tested 
    by torture 

    And 
    vicious 
    and 
    violent 
    gasses 

    main
    tained 
    the 
    or
    der 

    As 
    the 
    finest 
    Washington 
    minds 
    found 

    slogans 
    for 
    slaughter

    But 
    please 
    be 
    re
    as
    sured, 

    we 
    seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war. 

    Then 
    over 
    the border 
    came 
    the 

    bay of 
    pigs 
    planes 
    of 
    per
    suasion 

    All 
    remaining 
    honor 
    went 
    up 
    in 
    flames 

    of 
    inva
    sion 

    But the shattered 
    schools 
    never 
    learned that 

    it's 
    not 
    escalation 

    But 
    please 
    be 
    re
    as
    sured, 

    we 
    seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war. 

    We're 
    teaching 
    freedom 
    for 

    which 
    they 
    are 
    yearning 

    While 
    were dragging 
    them 
    down 

    to 
    the path 
    of 
    never 
    return
    ing 

    But, 
    we'll 
    condescend 
    to talk 
    while 

    the cities 
    are 
    burning 

    But please 
    be reassured, 

    we seek no 
    wider war. 

    And 
    the evil is done 
    in hopes that 

    evil 
    surrenders 

    But 
    the 
    deeds of 
    the devil are burned 

    too deep in 
    the 
    ember
    s 

    And a 
    world of 
    hun
    ger in vengeance 

    will always 
    remember 

    So please 
    be reassured, 

    we 
    seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war, 

    We 
    seek 
    no 
    wider 
    war.

      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 🙂

      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.
