To me, it's about the people who only care about how the song sounds, rather than the actual meaning of the lyrics.
The line 'but it goes in one ear, and right out the other' means that it's going right over their heads and they don't even bother to interpret it.
'They say that 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'
'They think they know my thoughts, but they don't know the least
If they'd listen to the words they'd find the message that's beneath'
@karma1244 I was pretty sure when he says "but it goes in one ear, and right out the other" he is saying he doesn't listen to the critics, they don't care what they think of the band it is what they want. and he says "So all the critics who despise us, go ahead and criticize us" because they couldn't care less
