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 em off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and...

The song's about rumours and the people who spread them. Consider :
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
Rumours spread like wildfire and pretty soon everyone knows it. But it tends to get embellished, leaduing to even more outlandish tales (every single one's got a story to tell)
The last verse details Jack's desire to escape it all and return to a simpler life (working the straw in Witchitaw). -
Also, the name of the song comes from Jack's childhood. He mispronounced "Salvation Army" as "Seven Nation Army".
-
It's basically just a rant against people, that being media or even people he knows.
