           F#                    A
They say that we ain't got the style,
    F#                B
We ain't got the class,
 F#                      A             B
We ain't got the tunes that's goin to put us
        A
on the map

And I'm a phony in disguise,
tryna make the radio
I'm an antisocial anarchist
who 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 at 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:
        F#
And it goes In One Ear,
     A            B
And right out the other,
 F#                            A           B
People talkin' shit but you know I never bother,
   F#
IT goes In One Ear,
     A            B
And right out the other,
 F#                    A                B
People talkin' shit, They can kiss the back
      F#
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 fucking 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

Chorus:
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

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
Aaaaaaoooh!!!!

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
