Critical Acclaim lyrics

PLAY AVENGED SEVENFOLD Critical Acclaim video [Shads]
Yeah!

Quiet, might piss somebody off
Like me mother fucker,
You've been at it for too long
While you feed off all these 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 man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

[Rev]
Telling them it's all for something real
Don't forsake the words you speak,
You've gone too far,
Acclaim!

[Spoken- Shads- "hey" repeated in background]
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 this family's existance?
Well, where I'm from we have a special salute we wave high in the air
Towards all those pompous asses who spend their days pointing fingers.

[Rev]
Fuck you!

[Shads]
Quiet, 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 hypocracy collected in a maze

Tabloid gossip, we want less real
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda, once again
(Right this way, deter your own grave)

[Rev]
Telling them its all for something real
Don't forsake the words you speak,
You've gone too far,
Acclaim!

[Shads Speaking- "hey" repeated in background]
All the way from the east to the west
We've got this high society looking down on this very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems
Pointing the fingers in every direction
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize

[Rev]
Fuck you!

[Shads]
Excuse the unseen, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
And many mistakes can't hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

["Fight" repeated in background]
Quiet, might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(lies inside your head your best friend)
I'll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

[Rev]
Telling them its all for something real
Don't forsake the words you speak,
You've gone too far,
Acclaim!
