Verse 1
D

A bunch of

nerdy brainy guys a long way back

Invented a crazy little thing they

called the Univac

For years now,

they've been upgrading that thing

It can walk & talk & count

& think & it can even sing

It can help you at school, church,

business, and work

Makes you feel like a genius even

though you're just a jerk

You get a computer,

you sit it in your lap

It does a little bit of this

it does a whole lotta that

It can boot you up,

it can load you down

With that little bitty mouse

you're gonna rule this town

But you're headed for trouble

I do believe

It's coming your way on

New Year's Eve now

Whoa what do you know

A few more measly more months to go

Hey what do you say,

now here it comes now... Y2K

No it ain't a virus it's just

a little glitch

It wan't done by some crazy

hackin son of a bitch

And Sadaam didn't do it,

can't blame him

No it's a geek with the glasses

and the stupid silly grin

Billionaire Bill that's

the one you can hate

If you want to blame someone
Verse 2

blame Bill Gates
D


Bill said we'd make money,

Bill said we'd have fun

But remember Hal the computer

in 2001

We're in a time machine

going back my friend

Doin 1900 all over again,

Verse 3
D

We've been trucking down the information

superhighway

But we'll be on a dirt road come Y2K

Call me old fashioned call me a fool

And yo can call me a Luddite

& you can call me uncool

But we used to imagine,

question, and dream

And now all of our answers come

up on some screen

We're headed for trouble

I do believe

It's coming your way on New Year's Eve

You'll be
Verse 5

doing the monkey,

but there'll be a new twist

You'll still be alive but

you will not exist

The stock market will crash,

the air traffic will stop

You won't find a doctor,
Verse 6

forget about a cop
D


There'll be a lot of lawyers

with plenty to do

It's apocalypse now at a theatre

near you

We're headed for trouble

I do believe

It's coming your way on
Verse 7

New Year's Eve
D


Meanwhile... Way over there in the old

ancient Middle East

Them doomsday boys is having a feast

The end is at hand & they're down

on their knees

They've been checking out

all the bad- ass prophesies

This Y2K it's the latest craze

It's lock & load for the final days

Well I saw you on the plane playing solitaire

On that little laptop, iwth nary a care

Life's easy now, but it could get hard

Pretty soon you're gonna have to use

  • 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.
