Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim lyrics
[Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim lyrics]
(Shh! Quiet, you might piss somebody off)
Like me, motherfucker
You've been at it for too long
While you feed off others insecurities
You stand in front of me and
Bite the hand that feeds
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
I've had enough, it's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone
So, how does it feel to know that
Someone's kid in the heart of America
Has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights so
You can maintain the lifestyle
That insults his family's existence?
Well, where I'm from we have a special salute
We aim high in the air
Towards all those pompous assholes
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck you)
(Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off)
Like the heartbeat of this country
When antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me
In as part of your
Generous hypocrisy, collecting enemies
Tabloid gossip queen, worthless man
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way, you dug your own grave)
I've had enough, it's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone
All the way from the east to the west
We got this high society looking
Down on their very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions
Are the cause of all their problems
Pointing their fingers in every direction
Blaming their own nation for
Who wins elections
They never contributed a fucking thing
To the country they love to criticize
Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
Admitting mistakes can hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first
(Shh! Be quiet, you might piss somebody off)
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
I've had enough, it's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone
Like me, motherfucker
You've been at it for too long
While you feed off others insecurities
You stand in front of me and
Bite the hand that feeds
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
I've had enough, it's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone
So, how does it feel to know that
Someone's kid in the heart of America
Has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights so
You can maintain the lifestyle
That insults his family's existence?
Well, where I'm from we have a special salute
We aim high in the air
