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 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 a feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore
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 coming from my blood
tell me "go back home"

Review about Seven Nation Army Same words different group | Reviewer: Susan | 11/15/09
I just heard the Oak Ridge Boys do this on Direct TV 101; it brought chills down my neck. The meaning I get from the song is there will be a conflict that is known by the powers of the earth and he sees it coming. He intends to retaliate in kind but he will return to his roots to rest after the conflict. Sorry but this is my interpretation from a life of 60 plus years.
awesome! | Reviewer: :D | 1/7/09
This song's greaat. I've known it for the longest time, but never knew what it was called, haha. . . and I heard it on the radio and finally got it on my iPod touch. now it's one of the most frequent songs I listen to! :D
theres no place like home | Reviewer: bruce fox | 11/20/08
just like the line from the wizard of oz...."there's no place like home!" this is what Mr white is trying to convey to the listener. if I'm wrong ...sorry to be that.The simplicity of this song is what makes it stick up there where you're listening.I've just added it to my new band "SID JANGLS" line up of covers.If you want to check out one of our new originals go to Poetry.com and rate WAR WAR WAR under bruce fox

Answer to the Meaning of this Song | Reviewer: The Answer | 12/3/07
Patri,
Although I could be quite wrong, this is what I think the meaning of this song is:
He (the writer of this song), is unhappy with his life, all the people in it, and pretty much everything involved in it. He gets a "feeling coming from his bones" which tells him to find a new life somewhere new. So, he goes to Wichita, which is in Kansas, and gets a job as a straw worker. However, when he gets his new job and starts a new life, he finds that this is not what he was meant to do either, and that his old home was really the place he should be.
