Band Quotes
- Jack White : "I was thinking about a time in high school when I turned my books in to the math teacher and said, "I refuse to learn from you any more". The song's about asking questions. A lot of people are taught just to regurgitate information. People don't care if you learn anymore. Opinion gets trampled on."
