Jack White's guitar.
Effect & Cause.
This is my absolute favorite song (for the moment)... I just can't seem to understand how logic has become so unpopular, maybe you can relate to these lyrics too.

If you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a trainwreck
Then they put me in traction
Well, first came an action
And then a reaction
But you can't switch m'round
For your own satisfaction
Well you burnt my house down
Then got mad at my reaction
Well in every complicated situation
Of the human relation
Makin' sense of it all
Take a whole lot of concentration
Well you can't blame a baby
For her pregnant ma
And if there's one of these
On the order of laws
You just can't just take the effect
and make it the cause
((Chorus))
Well you can't take the effect
And make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank
Cus you made up the law
Blame me for robbing Peter
But don't you blame Paul
Can't take the effect
And make it the cause
I ain't the reason that you gave me
No reason to return your call
You built a house of cards
And got shocked when you saw them fall
Well I ain't saying I'm innocent
In fact the reverse
But if your headed to the grave
Ya don't blame the hearse
You're like a little girl yelling at her brother
Cus you lost his ball
You keep blaming me for what you did
But that ain't all
The way you clean up a wreck
Is enough to give one pause, yes
You seem to forget just how this song started
I'm reacting to you
Because you left me broken hearted
You can't just take the effect and make it the cause
Well you can't take the effect
And make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank
Because you made up the law
Blame me for robbing Peter
Don't you blame Paul
Can't take the effect
And make it the cause
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
