A white stripes song about a guy who looks to go and fool around with a girl. he thinks that he has her conquered but she turns the tables on him. similar to Plato and Alcibiades in the symposium. Alcibiades is upset because he was once the beloved of Socrates and now he is the lover, while Socrates has taken a shining to Agathon.

Conquest- He was out to make a conquest Didn’t care what harm was done Just as long as he won The prize Conquest- She was just another conquest Didn’t care whose heart was broke Love to him was a joke ’til he looked into her eyes And then in the strange way things happen The roles were reversed from that day The hunted became the huntress The hunter became the prey Conquest- Now you know who made the conquest She, with all her female guile Led him helpless down the aisle She had finally made a conquest Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh [x4] Oooh oooooohh oohhhh And then in the strange way things happen The roles were reversed from that day The hunted became the huntress The hunter became the prey Conquest- Now you know who made the conquest She, with all her female guile Led him helpless down the aisle She had finally made a conquest Ahhhhh Conquest
