Seven Nation Army

The White Stripes · Under Great White Northern Lights [2010]

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 talking to myself at night

Because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind

Behind a cigarette

And a message coming from my eyes says leave it alone



Don't want to 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 coming 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 a feeling coming from my bones says find a home



I'm going to Wichita

Far from this opera, forever more

I'm going to 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 going to bleed from me

And I will think no more

And the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home
