Critical Acclaim by A7X

Shhh… quiet 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 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 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
