Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim Lyrics

Shhh… 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)

I'll bleed but not for fellow men

(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real

Don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far

Acclaim

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 a lifestyle

that insults his family's existence

Well, where I come from we have a special

salute waved high in the air

to all those pompous assholes

who spend their days pointing fingers

(Fuck You)

Shhh… 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

collected and amazed

Tabloid gossip we want less real

(There's no need for us to bury you)

Selfish agenda once again

(Right this way you've dug your own grave)

Telling them it's all for something real

Don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far

Acclaim

All the way from the east to the west we've

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 and blaming their

own nation for who wins elections

They've 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

Shhh… 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)

Telling them it's all for something real

Don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far

Acclaim
