	Well, if you read more into the White Stripes, you find that they aren't like most bands. They write songs that mean something to them,not so much to how they could get more people to listen .: like most modern musicans:no disrespect:. So, I'm saying I have no clue, but it is a good toe tapper. But the only person that probably would know best, could and only be the White Stripes.

	Obviously a run down or demolition area where the kids hang out at.

	I think Blackjack Davey had it. I know a couple places like that around where I live. It would make sense for a musician, especially one like Jack, to pay tribute to a place like that. Also, he's going back to the color scheme again. Bricks are most often Red and cemented with White.

	if this song is literal, then i think it is a place where people fight if its symbolic, then i agree with lucky7 completely

	It's about the state of Detroit after the race riots, as it was was never restored. I think the building site Jack describes is like a metaphor for growing up in a city that is a shadow of its former self.

	somewhat insane, you're an idiot.

No Picture Ben Wanna Be	#7 by Ben Koss at Aug 12, 2001 at 2:34 AM EST
	Great punk rock sound with that twangy, strangled cat vocal. old days before detroit was a graveyard. "felt your boyfriends fist..."

	I was calling him an idiot because he was rambling on about The White Stripes not being like most bands... Most bands DO sing about stuff that is important to them, yes there may be a bunch of bands that make music so they can sell lots of records, but the majority just make music. And yes, He is welcome to his opinion, just as I am welcome to my opinion of him being an idiot.
