Lyrics
Take all your problems
And rip `em apart
Carry them off
In a shopping cart
And another thing you
Should've known from the start
The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart
Be like the squirrel, girl
Be like the squirrel
Give it a whirl, girl
Be like the squirrel
And another thing
You have to know in this world
Cut up your hair
Straighten your curls
Well, your problems
Hide in your curls
And rip `em apart
Carry them off
In a shopping cart
And another thing you
Should've known from the start
The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart
Be like the squirrel, girl
Be like the squirrel
Give it a whirl, girl
Be like the squirrel
And another thing
You have to know in this world
Cut up your hair
Straighten your curls
Well, your problems
Hide in your curls
About "Little Acorns"
The White Stripes' 'Little Acorns' is a raw garage-rock fable, all fuzz-toned guitar and primal stomp. The title suggests quiet beginnings, but the track crackles with a restless energy, a reminder that even the smallest seed contains the chaos of the forest to come.
