    Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    was 
    young 

    and 
    they packed 
    me 
    off 
    to school 

    And 
    taught 
    me 
    how 
    not 
    to play 
    the game 

    I 
    didn't 
    mind 
    if they 

    groomed 
    me 
    for success 

    Or 
    if they 
    said 
    that 
    I was 
    just 
    a fool 

    So 
    I 
    left 
    there 
    in 
    the 
    morn
    ing 

    With 
    their 
    God 
    tucked 

    underneath 
    my 
    arm 

    Their 
    half-assed 
    smiles 
    and 

    the 
    book 
    of 
    rules 

    Verse 2

    And I 
    asked 
    this 
    God 
    a 
    ques
    tion 

    And 
    by 
    way 
    of firm 
    reply 

    He 
    said 
    "I'm 
    not 
    the kind 
    you 

    have 
    to wind 
    up 
    on 
    Sundays" 

    So 
    to 
    my 
    old 
    head
    mas
    ter 

    and 
    to 
    anyone 
    who 
    cares 

    Be
    fore 
    I'm 
    through 
    I'd 

    like 
    to 
    say 
    my 
    prayers 

    I 
    don't 
    be
    lieve 
    you 

    You 
    had 
    the 
    whole 
    damn 
    thing 
    all 
    wrong 

    He's 
    not 
    the 
    kind 
    you 
    have 

    to 
    wind 
    up 
    on 
    Sundays 

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    you 
    can 
    excommunicate 
    me 

    on 
    my 
    way 
    to 
    Sunday 
    school 

    And 
    have 
    all 
    the 
    bishops 
    harmonize 
    these 
    lines 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    How 
    do 
    you 
    dare 
    tell 
    me 
    that 

    I'm 
    my 
    father's 
    son 

    When 
    that 
    was 
    just 
    an 
    ac
    cident 
    of 
    birth 

    I'd 
    rather 
    look 
    around 
    me, 

    compose 
    a 
    better 
    song 

    'Cause 
    that's 
    the 
    hon

    est 
    measure 
    of 
    my 
    worth 

    In 
    your 
    pomp 
    and 
    all 
    your 
    glory 

    you're 
    a 
    poorer 
    man 
    than 
    me 

    As 
    you 
    lick 
    the 
    boots 
    of 
    death 

    Interlude 2

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
