Critical Acclaim
Avenged Sevenfold

(Quiet, might piss somebody off)

Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long

While you feed off all those 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)


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 the lifestyle

That insults his family's existence?


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

(Fuck you)


(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 hypocrisy, 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, you 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 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

And many mistakes can hurt

I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

(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)


Telling them it's all for something real

Don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far, acclaim
