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

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 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 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 talking shit but you know we 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
