In One Ear

They say that we ain't got the style We ain't got the class We ain't got the tunes that's goin to put us on the map And I'm a phony in disguise Trying to make the radio I'm an anti-social anarchist, I sound like so and so They say I'm just a stupid kid Another crazy radical Rock and roll is dead I probably should've stayed in school Another Generation X who somehow slipped up through the cracks Oh they'd love to see me fall but I'm already on my back And it goes in one ear And right out the other People talkin' shit but you know I never bother I goes in one ear And right out the other People talkin' shit They can kiss the back of my hand Now I know I'm not a saint I been a sinner all my life I ain't tryin to hide me flaws I'd rather keep them in the light They wanna criticize, scrutinize Cast another stone Burn me at the stake and sit and watch it from their throne They say the devil is my pal I do a lotta drugs The crowd will only like me if they're really fuckin' drunk They think they know my thoughts But they don't know the least If they listened to the words they'd find the message tucked beneath But it goes in one ear And right out the other People talkin shit even though they never bother It goes in one ear And right out the other People talkin' shit, they can kiss the back of my hand (You hear that) (You hear what's coming? Oh you better run for the hills) ('Cause we're coming to your town, and we're gonna burn that mother fucker down) Here's the moral to the story We don't do it for the glory We don't do it for the money We don't do it for the fame So all the critics who despise us, go ahead and criticize us It's your tyranny that drives us, adds the fire to our flames And it goes In one ear And right out the other People talkin' shit but you know we'll never bother It goes in one ear And right out the other I'm only playing music 'cause you know I fucking love it It goes in one ear And right out the other People talkin' shit but you know we'll never bother It goes in one ear, and right out the other People talkin' shit well you know they can kiss the back of my hand --- In One Ear - Cage the Elephant
