Sixteen Saltines Lyrics

Cover art for Sixteen Saltines lyrics by Jack White

"Well every morning I deliver the news Black hat white shoes and I'm red all over She's got a big mailbox, that she puts up front Garbage in garbage out, she's getting what she wants"

I think the "news" is representative of the different boys in the girl's life. The boy is a newspaper (black hat, white shoes, and re(a)d all over) and the girl picks out the boys she doesn't like from her mailbox. Kind of makes more sense in my head..
