    • Verse 1
    You were born 
    with football 
    boots 

    an
    d a 
    sun tan 
    complexion 

    You 
    once thought 
    that 
    on reflection, 

    you'd really 
    got 
    it made 

    You shrugged 
    an
    d smiled 

    and made 
    the usual 
    excuses 

    You suffered 
    small 
    abuses, 

    and settled 
    for 
    their pay 

    You want 
    to learn 
    to live 
    like earnerest the 

    crat (an aristocrat) 

    You bought 
    your girlfriends 
    earring

    s well 
    that 
    soon 
    put paid 
    to that 

    and if 
    the whole 
    world 
    came crash
    ing, 

    down 
    around 
    your ears 

    You could dream 
    of stuck 
    old wall

    paper 
    and crystal 
    chandeliers 

    You 
    cashed in 
    your cards 
    now you want 
    Verse 2

    to buy 
    some glamour 

    You really 
    are 
    enamoured, 

    with that new 
    soap 
    on a rope 

    A thousand 
    fat 
    comedians 
    came in 

    disguised 
    as cler
    ics 

    They got 
    you in 
    histerics, and walked 

    off with 
    your soul 

    and with 
    that cheap, 
    skate, 
    roy
    alty, 

    you get 
    your flag 
    and wave 

    Well I 
    saw you 
    on TV 
    grinning 

    at 
    the motorcade 

    Pretty 
    soon 
    we'll hang 
    the trait
    ors, 

    string 
    them up 
    like drapes 

    So 
    we 
    can ride 
    around 
    like Steve 

    McQueen 
    in the 
    great 
    escape 

    You 
    hung around 
    Verse 3
    to long, 

    your mother 
    read 
    your letter
    s 

    You grinned 
    like 
    a go-getter, come 

    come 
    and got 
    and gone 

    The time 
    the morning 
    slips, 

    blend
    s into 
    your 
    wallpaper 

    and once 
    you could 
    escape 
    her
    , 

    but where 
    did you 
    go wrong 

    and 
    your fathers 
    at 
    the factory 

    that 
    makes money 
    seeling guns 

    To fight 
    the wars 
    that spends 

    the lives 
    of all 
    the peoples 
    sons 

    Pretty 
    soon 
    we'll hang 
    the traitor
    s, 

    and we'll string 
    them up 
    like drapes 

    So we 
    can ride 
    around 
    like Steve 

    McQueen 
    in the 
    great 
    escape 

    Verse 4
    You 
    were born with 
    foot
    ball 
    boots and 

    a 
    sun 
    tan complex
    ion 

    You once 
    thought 
    that on reflec
    tion, 

    you'd 
    really 
    got it 
    made 

    You once 
    thought 
    that on reflec
    tion, 

    you'd 
    really 
    got it 
    made

      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 🙂

      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.
