You got a reaction
You got a reaction didn't, you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try and keep the truth from showing up
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
You're given a flower
But I guess that there's just no pleasing you
Your lips tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you
You got a reaction

You took a white orchid

Get behind me

Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway

Many songs (by Black Sabbath, for example) contain satanic messages. You can hear them when the song is played backwards. Also, many other songs (Stairway to Heaven etc.) are said to have satanic backward messages, but it's not true. Maybe the White Stripes make fun of this because they play their song backwards on their site?
"Orchid" derives from a Latin word meaning testicles because the roots of an orchid are said to look like testicles.
The phrase "Get behind me Satan" is from the bible. Jesus says it to Peter:
Matthew 16:23. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Mark 8:33. But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
Luke 4:8. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
