As the title of this song, the word cannon takes on several different meanings. At first it’s a gun, mounted on a tank. Then Jack White takes lyrics from the Son House version of “John the Revelator,” a classic, traditional call and response gospel song and cannon takes on further meanings.
Cannon...
Outside
My door
Unlocked
I’m lookin'
At this sound
That chime out of nowhere
Yeah, nowhere
Wheels turnin'
Scratching
And burnin'
Yeah
I saw guns
Tanks
Cannon
Cannon
Yeah
Tell me who's that writin'
John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'
John the Revelator
Who's that writin'
John the Revelator wrote the book of the Seven Seals
Christ went down on Easter mornin'
Mary n' Martha went down to see
"Go tell my disciples, to meet me in Galilee"
Who's the writer?
John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'
John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writer
John the Revelator wrote the book of the Seven Seals
Yeah!
Lord above
How can man
Be evil?
Evil
Evil
