Cage The Elephant - 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 going to put us on the map
And I'm a phoney in disguise
Trying to make the radio
I'm an anti-social anarchist and I sound so and so
They say I'm just a stupid kid,
Just a crazy radical
Rock and Roll is dead
I probably should've stayed in school
Another generation X
Who somehow slipped up through the cracks
They'd love to see me fall,
But i'm already on my back

So it goes in one ear
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
But you know it never bothers me,
It 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 have no flaws
I'd rather keep them in the line
They wanna criticise, scrutinise,
Cast another stone,
Burn me at the stake,
And sit and watch it from the dome
They say the devil is my pal
I do a lot of 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 that's beneath And it goes in one ear,
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
Even though they never bother
In one ear
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
They can kiss the back of my hand

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 things
So all the critics who despise
Just go ahead and criticise us
It's your integrity that drives us
Adding fire to the flame and it goes...

In one ear
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
But you know I'll never bother
It goes in one ear
and right out the other,
I'm only playing music cos 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
They can kiss the back of my hand
