Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes

I'm gonna fight 'em all
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 the 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 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 sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

This video is the perfect way to describe what it’s like to be high on strong pot or mushrooms. You have one fleeting thought and it merged into another. This song was played by one of the bands at Sarah and Archer’s music school. It was the first time I heard it. I prefer the kids version. At least they have an excuse for it sounding like loud garbage. The adult version has no excuse.

My Mom and a lot of her family grew up in Wichita

They lived in a haunted house, and yet life there was still pretty boring

Some cool ghost stories though

The White Stripes had a few good songs in their existence

But what I loved about them was the lady playing the drums

I've always been rather attracted to ladies that play the drums

This song's ok, but Hotel Yorba is probably my favorite tune by them
