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
|
Trin' 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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
So it goes in one ear and right out the other
|
People talking but you know I never bother
|
It goes in one ear and right out the other
|
People talking, 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
|
They think they know the least
|
If they'd listen to the words
|
They'd find a message tucked beneath
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus] Twice
|
