I'm going to fight them 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 the 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 my 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

• “Seven Nation Army” abre o álbum *Elephant* e foi lançada como single em 2003, tornando‑se uma das músicas mais reconhecidas da banda.
O riff característico, que parece um baixo, foi criado ao passar a guitarra semi‑acústica de Jack White por um pedal whammy ajustado uma oitava abaixo.
A melodia do riff surgiu durante um soundcheck no Corner Hotel, em Melbourne, e foi inspirada no tema principal da Quinta Sinfonia de Anton Bruckner.
A canção venceu o Grammy de 2004 na categoria Melhor Canção de Rock e ficou três semanas no topo da parada Modern Rock Tracks.
“Seven Nation Army” foi incluída nas listas de maiores faixas de guitarra de publicações como Q (nº 8, 2005), NME (nº 5, 2005) e Rolling Stone (nº 21, 2008).
Um remix da música foi usado no trailer de *Battlefield 1*, impulsionando seu retorno às paradas da iTunes.
