They say that we ain't got the style
We ain't got the class
We ain't got the tunes that's goin to put us on the map
And I'm a phony in disguise
Tryin to make the radio
I'm an anti-social anarchist dyslexic so and so
They say I'm just a stupid kid
Another crazy radical
Rock and roll is dead I probably should've stayed in school
Another generation-x who somehow
Slipped up through the cracks
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 talkin' shit
But you know I never bother
It goes in one ear
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
They can kiss the back of my hand

Now I know I'm not a saint
I been a sinner all my life
I ain't tryin to hide my flaws
I'd rather keep them in the light
They wanna criticise, 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 alotta 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 listened to the words
They'd find the message tucked beneath

But it goes in one ear
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
Even know that 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 mother fucker 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 things
So all the critics who despise
Just go ahead and criticise
It's your tyranny that drives us
Addin' fire to the flame

And it goes, in one ear
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
But you know we'll never bother
It goes in one ear
And right out the other
I'm only playing music cos you know I fuckin' love it
And it goes in one ear
And right out the other
People talkin' shit
But you know we'll never bother
It goes in one ear
And right out the other
People talkin shit
They can kiss the back of my hand
