Critical Acclaim (Live) lyrics
by Avenged Sevenfold
[Intro: M. Shadows]
Ahhh!
[Speaking: M. Shadows]
How the f*ck we doing Long Beach? Yeah!
[Verse 1: M. Shadows]
(Shh! Quiet, you might p*ss somebody off!)
Like me, motherf*cker, 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
[Pre-Chorus 1: Zacky Vengeance and M. Shadows]
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
[Chorus: The Rev]
I've had enough, it's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone!
[Post-Chorus: M. Shadows & Crowd]
(I wanna see those hands now!)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
(f*ck you!)
[Verse 2: M. Shadows]
(Shh be quiet, you might p*ss 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
[Pre-Chorus 2: Zacky Vengeance & M. Shadows]
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)
[Chorus: The Rev]
I've had enough, it's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone!
[Post-Chorus: M. Shadows & Crowd]
(Let me see it!)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Bridge: M. Shadows]
Ignore 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
Woah, ahh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ah, ah, ah woah-ahh
Woah, oh-ahh
Ahhh!
[Hook: M. Shadows]
(Shh! Be quiet, you might p*ss somebody off)
[Guitar Solo]
[Segue: M. Shadows]
(Long Beach! I wanna hear you scream!)
[Pre-Chorus 1: Zacky Vengeance & M. Shadows]
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
[Chorus: The Rev]
I've had enough, it's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone!
[Outro: M. Shadows]
Oh, yeah! Ohh-ah-ooh-ah, ohh-ah-ohh
Oh, no, don't you go away!
[Speaking: M. Shadows]
And here we are again, Southern California, my favorite place to f*ckin' be in the Goddamn world
Long Beach you ready to rock 'n roll tonight?
So, being from Orange County, from Southern California, I know we got a lot of hardcore dedicated fans here tonight
We got a lotta kids who know all the sh*t, the new sh*t, the old sh*t, let's play something old for 'em right now
I wanna see if we can get this f*ckin' circle pit started, can you do that for me Long Beach?
