Critical Acclaim

(Shh,be quiet,you 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 your 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
waved high in the air
towards all those pompous assholes
who spend their days pointing fingers.

Fuck you...

(Shh, 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 dug your own grave)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words your 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!

(Shh, be quiet, you 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 your speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim!
