Raconteurs, The - Bored And Razed Lyrics






Rolling a juke joint box in the corner
Trolling myself in the mirror at night
Keeping an eye on my grindstone future
Staying away from the left and the right

California bored and razed
But these days
She's living with another
Plastic features perfect face
What a waste
And I'm still thinking of her

Ooooh ooooh oooh...

Laying the cardinal sins on the table
Pouring the coffee out on the grounds
Changing the losses to wins if I'm able
Switching the pitch to an audible sound

Running the rounds of the mundane soldier
Trading the cards and erasing the names
Feeling a pounding, insane, colder
Sounding, system, feeding the flames

Well I'm Detroit born and raised
But these days
I'm living with another
You tell me she can be replaced
But that's not the case
I'm so lost without her

Rolling a juke joint box in the corner
Trolling myself in the mirror at night (...about her)
Keeping an eye on my grindstone future (I'm still thinking about her)
Staying away from the left and the right (I'm still thinking about her)

Ooooh ooooh oooh...

    This is definitely a contender for my favorite song

  13. J.... E....

    Jack take the wheel. Fantastic.

  14. A.... ....

    It’s as if they made this album to play it live. I’m seeing my 4th show in a row in 2 days.

  15. C.... B....

    Who are the people giving this tune a thumbs down?

  16. c.... d....

    Sounds like they looked back at the classic supergroups for inspiration......led Zeppelin, deep purple, !Rush and many more. Well done

  17. F.... H....

    Fu$k that was good

  18. S.... ....

    If you are anywhere they are about to play live, GO!! They started Raleigh show with this one and it is even better live. Now, had exciting moment where Jack jumped on amp in front of me, also scary moment, a sea of hands went for his feet around me. I don’t care who it is, I don’t want a dude with a Ax falling on my head. I still laugh at the thought, thrill and fear, haha. The show kicked butt and these guys really put all in to what they do live. GO! Worth every penny and moment in your life to see these guys live.

  19. J.... S....

    Send him to Detroit!

    No! No! Nooooooooo!!!!!!

  20. S.... V....

    Temazooo ,quiero verlos ahora que vienen a buenos aires ,Jack withe salvo al rock n' roll...

    A part of this song sounds like demon woman by flight of the conchords

  22. S.... V....

  23. M.... B....

    Anyone going to see them in hot 'lanta tonight will not be disappointed unless they are dead. They burned Columbia SC Tuesday night like Gen. Sherman was in town again !

  26. F.... N....

    I want to paint that fucking wall

  27. B.... N....

    This is fucking incredible.

  28. t.... ....

    Hahahahahahaha... I love this tune, but the main riff sounds exactly like Flight of the Conchords "Demon Woman" and I can't stop laughing and singing that when I hear it. Same key. Same tempo. It's amazing.

  29. J.... H....

    Great rock and roll. The intro sounds like "Just the Smile" by Rory Gallagher.

  30. A.... D....

    Don't know about anyone else but I feel they get better with every song, if that is possible because they already kick some serious ASS!!!!!!!!!! Good job boys!!

  31. S.... ....

  41. M.... R....

  42. F.... M....

    I love the Revolver esk harmony...melts me down the wall.😑😐😶

  43. L.... H....

    Devil woman, woman demon 🎶🎵

  44. m.... ....

    This rips

  45. N.... C....

    Help Us Stranger, the best Zeppelin album you've never heard!
    Have to love Jack and Crew!!!

  46. R.... K....

    Nobody riffs like Jack.

    R.... K....

    It's safe to say you were a heavy influence of his though. @Kurt Cobain

  47. W.... S....

    The drums on this album are incredible!

  48. R.... J....

    I needed a Power Chord in my life. Jack has a way of getting your attention, Hey you over there, OVER HERE!

  49. S.... D....

    White stripes on the wall? Coincidence?

  50. J.... S....

    "Rock 'n roll is dead".....

    Raconteurs and the Black Keys: "hold my beer!"

  51. 1.... ....

    The intro is lifted straight from Rory Gallagher's "Just The Smile" . If you are going to steal they say, steal from the best. Check it out and listen for yourself.

    1.... ....

    Blatantly stolen. Didnt change a damn thing.

  52. E.... N....

    The intro is similar to Rory Gallagher's "Just the Smile"!

    E.... N....

    More than just similar I'd say.

  53. S.... C....

    Inspired by "Just the Smile" of the legendary Rory Gallagher. 🤘😁

    S.... C....

    @Mister Knight Owl & Co. All music is stolen from other things

    S.... C....

    @icky thump 800000 influenced by and stolen are two different things. He could have changed a note or two or a bit of the tempo. He didnt change shit. Zeppelin did a better job covering their stealing of music lol.

    S.... C....

    @Mister Knight Owl & Co. Alright then sir

    S.... C....

    Y’all are all fucking music snobs

  54. M.... M....

    Green New Deal .... adding green to the mix💚 Love the Stripes influence ... Jack Fan ...raw talent music is in his bones!!

  55. M.... F....

    No lo puedo creer, una vez más The Raconteurs han vuelto a hacerlo. So good to see you back, boys. Love u

  56. W.... M....

    I plan on seeing you guys at in Pittsburgh in August, please play some of your old stuff as well as your new stuff

  57. j.... ....

    The 'Salute Your Solution' of this album.

  58. J.... J....

    This guys are so underrated! They have very good songs!

  59. G.... M....

    Shitting hell, when the drums kick in...hairs on the back of my neck rise to salute!

  60. R.... B....

    So much power on this song, guys!!! Awesome!!! All álbum kickass!! 👏🏻

  61. J.... D....

    Jack, I love All of your stuff. I know that rock and roll is constructed from 12 notes and everyone shares. Isn't this entire intro belonging to Rory Gallagher? Sounds pretty familiar. Dont get me wrong, I'm digging it.

  62. J.... C....

    OMG, Finally!

  63. F.... O....

    Hmmm... Four white stripes on the wall... Instead of three. Jack has been abducted, this is a pretender.

  64. B.... D....

    I’m 66 and this is the best thing I’ve heard in ........ too long to remember!

    B.... D....

    Have you listened to Rory Gallagher - Just the Smile?. The intro might sound familiar.

    B.... D....

    doctorchud1 You’re right. Every time I hear the beginning it’s a ghost from the past but the ghost isn’t Rory. I can’t quite remember but for some reason The Monkees (heaven forbid) keep popping into my mind. Any ideas?

  65. B.... H....

    Can't wait for the Masonic Temple shows! Well I'm DETROIT born and raised.... welcome home boys!

  66. R.... ....

    strange but I get a bit of a modern Beck vibe from this vid and tune.

  67. S.... L....

    LOVE this song , don`t have the cd yet but I listen to it here every day!!

  68. P.... T....

    That progression at 0:36, change the rythm a bit and turn up the had and you've got yourselves a wolf mother riff, love it

  69. T.... D....

    Absolute fire

  70. R.... ....

    Great mixing

  71. M.... T....

    Gonna see them soon at a really small venue can't wait!!!

  72. S.... O....

    Interesting fact. I bought the cd today in Australia only to realise when I got home that they are called The Saboteurs here. Some copyright thing.

  73. G.... ....

    Yeeaaahhh!!!
    🤘😆🤘

  74. b.... C....

    beautiful song ! le son du nouveau rock Indirock !

  75. D.... E....

    Another slam dunk storytellers, from the first whine of Jack's guitar -love it!

  76. A.... K....

    You taking notes Greta Van Fleet? This is how you rock like Zeppelin and still have your completely own sound ✌

    A.... K....

    Anders Kock Ha! My thoughts exactly!

    A.... K....

    Haha if you listen to the album version with the commentary, Jack compared one of their songs to Small Faces/Humble Pie’s sound. The Raconteurs sound does sound a lot like Humble Pie songs like “I don’t need no doctor” and “Four day creep.” Everyone sounds like someone else. It’s not a big deal unless people make it. Robert Plant borrowed some of Steve Marriots vocal style for some Led Zeppelin songs. The singer from Greta Van Fleet sings more like Steve Marriot than he does Robert Plant.

  77. A.... H....

    I'd love to see these guys

  78. L.... J....

    I say YES!

  79. S.... T....

    I hear Guns n Roses are recording a new album, they may do well to have an ear to this. Or not, I don’t care...

  80. S.... G....

    Amazing!!!! I'm Back!!!!! 😎✌💠♠🌟✨

  81. T.... H....

    Amazing song. Fantastic!

  82. K.... B....

    Jack White......Quintessential Genius

  83. S.... K....

    easily the best song on the album

  84. T.... *....

    Oh yeah, this is really really good!.....cool vid too

  85. L.... B....

    Amazing

  86. R.... T....

    This song kicks ass and so does the rest of the album.

  87. L.... K....

    props to Detroit man ! Love

  88. R.... T....

    Yup, hits right at home.

  89. S.... M....

    “Staying away from the left and the right”....I couldn’t agree more.

  90. B.... ....

    DAMN, good shit!

  91. N.... ....

    Oh look, fire.
