Lyrics 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
Gonna put us on the map

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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
