"Seven Nation Army" lyrics

"Seven Nation Army"

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talkin' to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

And the message comin' from my eyes says, "Leave it alone"

Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it comin' back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones says, "Find a home"

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "Go back home"

Writer(s): Jack White
The lead single from their fourth studio album. The band's signature song.
The famous riff used in this song sounds like a bass guitar, but it was created by a semi-acoustic Kay Hollowbody guitar run through a DigiTech Whammy pedal set. Jack White wrote this riff in Corner Hotel in Melbourne, Australia, while the band was on tour in January 2002.
The song's title comes from Jack White's mispronunciation of "Salvation Army" as a child.
Jack White explained the song's meaning, by saying, "The song's about gossip. It's about me, Meg and the people we're dating."
The music video is full of triangles which reflect the Jack White's love to number three.
The single reached number one on the Alternative Songs chart.
The song won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
