CAGE THE ELEPHANT lyrics : "IN ONE EAR"

They say that we ain't got the style, we ain't got the class,
We ain't go the tunes that's gonna put us on the map,
And I'm a phoney 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 shoulda stayed at school,

Another generation X that somehow slipped out through the cracks,
Oh 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 talking %#@!, but you know I never bother, it goes?
In one ear, and right out the other

People talking %#@!, but they can kiss the back of my hand

Now I know I'm not a saint, I've been a sinner all my life

I'm not tryin' to hide my 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 the throne

They say the devil is my pal, I do a lot of drugs
The crowd will only like me if they're really $#&@ing drunk
They think they know my thoughts, but they don't know the least,

If they'd listened to the words they'd find the message that's beneath, but it goes?

In one ear, and right out the other

People talking %#@!, even though they never bother, it goes?
In one ear, and right out the other
People talking %#@!, but they can kiss the back of my hand


[ Instrumental ]


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$#&@er down!!!
[screams]


[ Instrumental ]


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 talking %#@!, but you know I never bother, it goes?
In one ear, and right out the other
I'm only playing music, cause you know I $#&@ing love it, it goes?

In one ear, and right out the other
People talking %#@!, but you know I never bother, it goes?
In one ear, and right out the other

People talking %#@!, but they can kiss the back of my hand
