  • Verse 1

    It's a long 
    road, 
    oh 

    Everyday 
    I wake 
    up and 
    turn my 
    phone 
    on 

    I read the 
    news 
    of the day, 

    just 
    as 
    it's coming 
    down 

    do my 
    best 
    not 
    to 
    let it 
    get me 
    down 

    I try 
    to keep my 
    head 
    up, but 
    is Babylon 

    This 
    world's 
    in crisis, 

    we try 
    to fight 
    it, this 
    changing 
    climate 

    With 
    scientists 
    and politicians 
    divided 
    by 
    it 

    So 
    many 
    ways 
    we could solve 

    it but 
    they would 
    never 
    sign 
    it 

    This 
    mountains 
    tumbling 
    down, 

    but 
    still we 
    try to 
    climb 
    it 

    It's in the 
    Torah, 
    Quran and in the 
    Bible 

    Love 
    is the 
    message 
    for some 

    how we 
    turn 
    to rivals 

    It's 
    come to 
    people 
    always 

    picking 
    up their 
    rifles 

    Another 
    school 
    getting 

    Verse 2
    shot 
    up homicidal 

    Some 
    people 
    tryna 
    look fly, 

    some 
    people 
    tryna 
    get high 

    Some 
    people 
    losing 
    their mind, 

    some 
    people 
    tryna 
    get by 

    And 
    when 
    you look 
    in my 
    eyes, you 

    see the 
    sign 
    of the times 

    We all 
    looking 
    for the 
    same 
    thing 

    Verse 3
    But 
    what 
    if 
    this song's 
    number 
    one 

    Would 
    it 
    mean 
    that 
    love 
    had 
    won? 

    Would 
    it 
    mean 
    that 
    the world 
    was 
    saved? 

    And 
    no 
    guns 
    are being 
    drawn 
    today? 

    What 
    if 
    everybody 
    had 
    a job? 

    And nobody 
    had 
    to break 
    a law? 

    What 
    if 
    everyone 
    could 
    say 

    That 
    it's good 
    to 
    be 
    alive 
    today 
    (oh, 

    oh, oh, oh) 

    Is it 
    good to 
    be alive 
    today 
    (oh, 

    oh, o
    h, oh) 

    Is 
    it good 
    to 
    be alive 
    today 
    (oh, 

    oh, oh, oh) 

    Is it 
    good 
    to 
    be 
    alive 
    today 
    (oh, 

    oh, o
    h, oh) 

    No matter 
    what nobody 
    say 

    Verse 4
    People 
    used to 
    feel safer 
    when 

    they 
    would 
    hear a 
    siren 

    Like 
    help 
    is on its 
    way but 
    now they 

    only 
    think 
    of viol
    ence 

    Another 
    youth 
    in the streets 

    and police 
    is in 
    a conflict 

    And now 
    they hear the 
    guns 
    click, 

    yo 

    Ebola crisis 
    and ISIS 
    is 
    taking 
    heads 
    off 

    drone 
    is bombing 
    a village 

    and now the 
    kids 
    all 

    Signing 
    up to 
    be soldiers, 

    but 
    they all 
    willing 
    now 

    To 
    do the 
    killing 
    now, 

    now 
    are you 
    willing 
    now? 

    Some 
    politicians 
    out there 

    making 
    up some 
    problems 

    And 
    tryna 
    tell the 
    people 
    that 

    they can 
    solve 
    them 

    With 
    TV 
    shows 
    and 
    soundbites and quotes 

    But 
    everybody 
    knows 
    that 
    it's all 

    about the 
    cash 
    flow 

    They 
    telling 
    you 
    and me, 

    they're 
    making 
    progress 

    But 
    tell 
    it to the 
    millions 
    of 
    jobless 

    It's 
    like 
    a players 
    club with 

    billions 
    of dollars 

    To 
    get the 
    votes 
    you got to 

    Verse 5
    make 
    it rain 
    in congress 

    Some 
    people 
    tryna 
    look fly, 

    some

    tryna 
    get high 

    Some 
    people 
    losing 
    their mind, 

    some 
    people 
    tryna 
    get by 

    And 
    when 
    you look 
    in my 
    eyes, you

    sign

      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 🙂

      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.
