Seven Nation Army reached #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks for three weeks and won 2004's Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The song is known for its underlying riff, which plays throughout most of the song. Although it sounds like a bass guitar (an instrument the group had famously never previously used) Read more on Last.fm.
English Lyrics
I'm gonna fight 'em offA seven nation army couldn't hold me backThey're gonna rip it offTakin' their time right behind my backAnd I'm talkin' to myself at nightBecause I can't forgetBack and forth through my mindBehind a cigarette
And the message comin' from my eyesSays, "Leave it alone"
Don't wanna hear about itEvery single one's got a story to tellEveryone knows about itFrom the Queen of England to the Hounds of HellAnd if I catch it comin' back my wayI'm gonna serve it to youAnd that ain't what you want to hearBut that's what I'll do
And the feelin' comin' from my bonesSays, "Find a home"
I'm goin' to WichitaFar from this opera forevermoreI'm gonna work the strawMake the sweat drip out of every poreAnd I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin'Right before the LordAll the words are gonna bleed from meAnd I will think no more
And the stains comin' from my bloodTell me, "Go back home"
Spanish Lyrics
Voy a luchar contra ellos. Niun ejército de siete naciones podría detenerme.Van a robarme,tomándose su tiempo a mis espaldas.Y hablo conmigo mismo por la nocheporque no puedo olvidar.Un vaivén en mi mente,tras un cigarrillo.
Y el mensaje que sale de mis ojosdice: "Déjalo en paz".
No quiero oír hablar de eso.Todo el mundo tiene una historia que contar.Todo el mundo lo sabe,desde la Reina de Inglaterra hasta los perros del infierno.Y si me entero,te la voy a hacer pagar.Y eso no es lo que quieres oír,pero es lo que haré.
Y la sensación que me recorre desde los huesosme dice: "Encuentra un hogar".
Me voy a Wichita,lejos de esta ópera para siempre.Voy a trabajar la paja,a sudar hasta la última gota.Y estoy sangrando, y estoy sangrando, y estoy sangrandoante el Señor.Todas las palabras van a brotar de mí,y no pensaré más.
Y las manchas que vienen de mi sangreme dicen: "Vuelve a casa".
