Cage The Elephant - In One Ear (Explicit Lyrics)

Song: In One Ear
Artist: Cage The Elephant
Album: Cage The Elephant

Cage The Elephant is an American rock band from Kentucky.

I liked this song when I heard it on the radio, so I downloaded it. Lyrically I think the song is about people who don't listen to the meaning of a song. They'll listen to anything if they like the beat and don't care what it means or the meaning goes over their head. I think it's also about people who criticize bands without knowing them or really listening to them. They'll say a band sucks based on the way they dress, where they come from, who their friends are...... instead of actually listening to their music and deciding based on that if they like them. A lot of people don't think about the meaning of what they listen to anymore. I love this song!


"In One Ear"

They say 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 alot 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

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

you hear that? you hear what's comin'?
Oh you better run for the hills, Cause were comin' 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 I never bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other

I'm only playing music cause you know I fuckin' 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
