    Verse 1
    The 
    eastern 
    world 
    it 
    is 
    ex
    plodin' 

    Violence 
    flarin', 
    bullets 
    loadin' 

    You're 
    old 
    enough 
    to 
    kill 
    but 
    not 
    for 
    votin' 

    You 
    don't 
    believe 
    in 
    war, 

    but 
    what's 
    that 
    gun 
    you're 
    totin' 

    And 
    even 
    the 
    Jordan 
    river 
    has 

    bodies 
    floatin' 

    Chorus 1
    But 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    over 
    and 
    over 
    and 

    over 
    again 
    my 
    friend 


    Ah, 
    you 
    don't 
    believe 
    we're 

    on 
    the 
    eve 
    of 
    des
    truction 



    Verse 2
    Don't 
    you 
    understand, 

    what 
    I'm 
    trying 
    to 
    say? 

    And 
    can't 
    you 
    feel 
    the 
    fears 

    I'm 
    feeling 
    to
    day? 

    If 
    the 
    button 
    is 
    pushed, 

    there's 
    no 
    running 
    a
    way 

    There'll 
    be 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    save 

    with 
    the 
    world 
    in 
    a 
    grave 

    Take 
    a 
    look 
    around 
    you, 
    boy, 

    it's 
    bound 
    to 
    scare 
    you, 
    boy 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    over 
    and 
    over 
    and 

    over 
    again 
    my 
    friend 

    Ah, 
    you 
    don't 
    believe 
    we're 

    on 
    the 
    eve 
    of 
    des
    truction 


    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    Yeah 
    my 
    blood's 
    so 
    mad, 
    feels 
    like 
    coagu
    latin' 

    I'm 
    sittin' 
    here, 
    just 
    contem
    platin' 

    I 
    can't 
    twist 
    the 
    truth, 
    it 
    knows 
    no 
    regu
    lation 

    Handful 
    of 
    Senators 
    don't 
    pass 
    legis
    lation 

    And 
    marches 
    alone 
    can't 
    bring 
    inte
    gration 

    When 
    human 
    respect 
    is 
    disinte
    gratin' 

    This 
    whole 
    crazy 
    world 
    is 
    just 
    too 
    frus
    tratin' 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    over 
    and 
    over 
    and 

    over 
    again 
    my 
    friend 

    Ah, 
    you 
    don't 
    believe 
    we're 

    on 
    the 
    eve 
    of 
    des
    truction 


    Interlude 2



    Verse 4
    Think 
    of 
    all 
    the 
    hate 
    there 
    is 
    in 
    Red 
    Chi
    na! 

    Then 
    take 
    a 
    look 
    around 
    to 
    Selma, 
    Ala
    bama! 

    Ah, 
    you 
    may 
    leave 
    here, 
    for 
    four 
    days 
    in 
    space 

    But 
    when 
    your 
    return, 
    it's 
    the 
    same 
    old 
    place 

    Verse 5
    The 
    poundin' 
    of 
    the 
    drums, 

    the 
    pride 
    and 
    dis
    grace 

    You 
    can 
    bury 
    your 
    dead, 

    but 
    don't 
    leave 
    a 
    trace 

    Hate 
    your 
    next 
    door 
    neighbor, 

    but 
    don't 
    forget 
    to 
    say 
    grace 

    Chorus 4
    And 
    tell 
    me 
    over 
    and 
    over 
    and 

    over 
    and 
    over 
    a
    gain 
    my 
    friend 

    you 
    don't 
    believe 
    we're 

    on 
    the 
    eve 
    of 
    des
    truction 

    No, 
    no 

    Outro 1
    You 
    don't 
    believe 
    we're 

    on 
    the

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      "

      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.
