In One Ear

They say that we ain't got the styleWe ain't got the classWe ain't got the tunes that'sGonna put us on the mapAnd I'm a phony in disguiseTryin' to make the radioI'm an anti-social anarchistI sound like so and so

They say I'm just a stupid kidAnother crazy radicalRock'n'roll is deadI probably should have stayed in schoolAnother generation XWho somehow slipped up through the cracksOh they'd love to see me fallBut I'm already on my back

[Chorus:]So it goes in one ear and right out the otherPeople talking shit but you know I never botherIt goes in one ear and right out the otherPeople talking shit, they can kiss the back of my hand

Now I know I'm not a saintI've been a sinner all my lifeI ain't tryin' to hide my flawsI'd rather keep them in the lightThey want to criticize, scrutinizeCast another stoneBurn me at the stakeAnd sit and watch it from their throne

They say the devil is my palI do a lot of drugsThe crowd will only like meIf they're really fuckin' drunkThey think they know my thoughtsBut they don't know the leastIf they'd listen to the wordsThey'd find a message tucked beneath

[Chorus:]

You hear that?You hear what's coming?Oh, you better run for the hills'Cause we're coming to your townAnd we're gonna burn that motherfucker down

Here's the moral to the storyWe don't do it for the gloryWe don't do it for the moneyWe don't do it for the fameSo all the critics who despise usGo ahead and criticize usIt's your tyranny that drives usAdds the fire to our flames

And it goes in one ear and right out the otherPeople talking shit so you know we never botherIt goes in one ear and right out the otherI'm only playing music 'cause you know I fucking love itIt goes in one ear and right out the otherPeople talking shit but you know I never botherIt goes in one ear and right out the otherPeople talking shit, they can kiss the back of my hand
