Critical Acclaim - Avenged Sevenfold

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
