“Critical Acclaim” Lyrics
Album: Avenged Sevenfold
Artist: Avenged Sevenfold
Genre: Hard rock, heavy metal
Lyrics:
Shh be 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 bestfriend
(Heart bleeds but not for fellow man)
Broken glass, your fake reflection
I’ve had enough its time for something real
Don’t respect the words you’re speaking
Gone too far, a clone
So how does it feel to know that someones 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 aim high in the air
Towards all those pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers
F**k 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’ve dug your own grave
I’ve had enough its time for something real
Don’t respect the words you’re speaking
Gone too far, a clone
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
Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
Admitting mistakes can’t 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 bestfriend
(Heart bleeds but not for fellow man)
Broken glass, your fake reflection
I’ve had enough its time for something real
Don’t respect these words you speak
You’ve gone too far, a clone
Album Info:
Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold’s fourth full-length is little more than a workaday hard rock record replete with songs tailored for the innards of hockey rinks and basketball arenas. The nu-metal bellowing and angst-filled posturing quickly wear thin, rendering tracks such as “Scream” and “Afterlife,” and the opening “Critical Acclaim,” nearly interminable. Sure, “Gunslinger,” “A Little Piece of Heaven,” and “Dear God” offer some variation and each holds a few interesting ideas but there’s nothing here that hasn’t already been tried by My Chemical Romance, Nightwish, Buckcherry, or Bon Jovi. A credible but ultimately failed effort. –Jedd Beaudoin
