About The Hardest Button to Button

"The Hardest Button to Button" is a 7" single by the American alternative rock band The White Stripes. It is the third single from their album Elephant. The cover of the single is an allusion to the graphics of Saul Bass, seen in the movie posters and title sequences of films such as Anatomy of a Murder and The Man with the Golden Arm. Jack White says that the song is about a child trying to find his place in a dysfunctional family when a new baby comes. .

The Hardest Button to Button Lyrics

[00:38.09] We started living in an old house
[00:41.77] My ma' gave birth and we were checking it out
[00:44.45] It was a baby boy, so we bought him a toy
[00:47.90] It was a ray gun and it was 1981
[00:51.83] We named him "Baby", he had a toothache
[00:55.44] He started crying, It sounded like an earthquake
[00:59.16] It didn't last long because I stopped it
[01:02.89] I grabbed a rag doll and stuck some little pins in it
[01:06.68] Now we're a family and we're all right now
[01:10.30] We got money and a little place to fight now
[01:14.09] We don't know you and we don't owe you
[01:17.76] But if you see us around, I got something else to show you
[01:23.34]
[01:59.64] Now it's easy when you don't know better
[02:02.89] You think it's sleazy then put it in a short letter
[02:06.49] We keep warm but there's just something wrong when you
[02:10.13] Just feel like you're the hardest little button to button
[02:14.00] I had opinions that didn't matter
[02:17.67] I had a brain that felt like pancake batter
[02:21.69] I got a backyard with nothing in it
[02:24.98] Except a stick, a dog and a box with something in it
[02:30.59] The hardest button to button
[02:34.04] The hardest button to button
[02:37.80] The hardest button to button
[02:41.21] The hardest button to button, ah oh
[02:45.69] The hardest button to button
[02:49.01] The hardest button to button, ah oh
[02:52.82] The hardest button to button
[02:56.97]
[03:15.50] The hardest button to button
[03:19.03] The hardest button to button
[03:22.75] The hardest button to button
[03:26.40] The hardest button to button, ah oh
[03:28.57]
