Seven Nation Army (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Takin' their time right behind my back
Well, I'm talkin' to myself at night 'cause I can't forget, hey
Back and forth through my mind, behind a cigarette

[Break]
And the message comin' from my eyes says, "Leave it alone"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
And if I catch it comin' back my way, gonna serve it to you, hey
And that ain't what you want to hear, but that's what I'll do, hey

[Break]
And the feelin' comin' from my eyes says "Love is so blind"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'm goin' to see the mines
Far from this opera forevermore
I'm gonna blow your mind
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
Yeah, and I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' right before the Lord
The words are gonna bleed from me and I will think no more, yeah
[Break]
And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "Go back home"

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
