    We

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    The 
    vessel 
    keeps 
    pumping 
    us 

    through 
    this 
    entropic place 

    In 
    the 
    belly 
    of 
    the 
    beast 
    that 

    is 
    Californ-I-A 

    I I drank 
    from 
    faucet, 

    and 
    kept 
    my 
    receipt 

    For 
    when 
    they 
    weigh 
    me 
    on 
    my way 
    out

    here 
    nothing 
    is 
    free 

    But 
    the 
    Greyhounds 
    keep 
    coming 

    dumping 
    locusts 
    into 
    the streets 

    'Til 
    the 
    gutters 
    overflow 

    and 
    Los 
    Angeles 
    thinks 

    might 
    explode 

    Verse 8
    Someday 
    soon 

    And 
    it's 
    lovely 
    summer's 
    day 

    can 
    almost 
    see 
    sky
    line 

    Through 
    a thicken
    ing 
    shroud 
    of 
    egos 

    Is 
    this 
    the 
    city 
    of 
    angels 
    or 
    demons? 

    Verse 9
    And here 
    the 
    names 
    are 
    what 
    remain 

    Stars 
    encapsulate the 
    golden 
    lane 

    And 
    they 
    need 
    constant 
    clean
    ing 

    For 
    when 
    the tourists 
    begin 
    salivating 

    Verse 10
    And 
    can't 
    see 
    why 
    you'd 

    want 
    to 
    live 
    here 

    Billboards 
    reach 
    past 
    the 

    tallest 
    buildings 

    You 
    can't 
    swim 
    in 
    town 
    this 
    shallow 

    As 
    you 
    will 
    most 
    assuredly 

    drown

    • 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.
