Cage The Elephant - In One Ear lyrics

rate me

They say that we ain't got the style,

We ain't got the class,

We ain't got the tunes that's gonna put us on the map,

And I'm a phony in disguise,

Tryin' 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 n' roll is dead, I probably should have 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.

So it goes in one ear,

And right out the other,

People talking shit but you know I never bother, it goes

In one ear,

And right out the other,

People talking shit,

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 ain't tryin' 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 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'd listen to the words they'd find a message tucked beneath.

But it goes in one ear,

And right out the other,

People talking shit even though they never bother, it goes

In one ear,

And right out the other,

People talking shit, they can kiss the back of my hand.

Do you hear that?

D'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 motherfucker 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 I 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 talking shit, but you know I never bother, it goes...

In one ear, and right out the other

People talking shit, they can kiss the back of my hand.
