Cage The Elephant - In One Ear lyrics

[Verse 1] They say that we ain't got the style, we ain't got the cla** We ain't got the tunes that's gonna put us on the map And I'm a phoney in disguise, tryna' make the radio I'm an antisocial anarchist who sounds like so-and-so They say I'm just a stupid kid, another crazy radical Rock'n'roll is dead, I probably should have stayed at 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 [Chorus] So it goes in one ear and right out the other People talking sh** but you know I never bother It goes in one ear and right out the other People talking sh**, they can kiss the back of my hand [Verse 2] Now I know I'm not a saint, I've been a sinner all my life I ain't tryna' to hide my flaws, I'd rather keep them in the light They want to 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 lot of d** The crowd will only like me if they're really f**ing drunk They think they know my thoughts, but they don't know the least If they'd listen to the words they'd find a message tucked beneath [Chorus] But it goes in one ear and right out the other People talking sh** even though they never bother It goes in one ear and right out the other People talking sh**, they can kiss the back of my hand [Bridge] 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 motherf**er down! [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] And it goes in one ear and right out the other People talking sh** so you know we never bother It goes in one ear and right out the other I'm only playing music cause you know I f**ing love it It goes in one ear and right out the other People talking sh** but you know I never bother It goes in one ear and right out the other People talking sh**, they can kiss the back of my hand
