Se dice que Jack White tenía grandes preocupaciones científicas y por eso se ocupó de hablar del efecto placebo en esta canción. También se dice que White hacía referencia a su compañera de banda, cuando en vivo cambiaba la letra por "Meg, you have no faith in medicine".
Girl,
you have no faith in medicine
acetaminophen
you see the medicine
girl,
you have no faith in medicine
Is there a way to find a cure for this
implanted in a pill?
is it just the name upon the bottle
the determines if it will?
Is the problem your allergic
to a well familiar name?
do you have any problem with this one
if the results are they same?
Acetaminophen
you see the medicine
girl,
you have no faith in medicine
Well strip the bark right off a tree
and just hand it this way
don't even need a drink of water
to make the headache go away
give me a sugar pill
and watch me just rattle
down the street
Acetaminophen
you see the medicine
girl,
you have no faith in medicine
