| Song 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 best friend
(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, acclaim!!
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 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
(Damn Lord gots 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, !
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 best friend
(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 speaking
You've gone too far, acclaim

Holy fuck this is amazing. I was worried that this album would stray too far from how they were on City of Evil. This song has deep meaning and A7X is really speaking up and strengthening their opinion about this fucked up country. | 21-08-2007 15:31 SynGatez | 1 posts

This is a f***ing awesome song!!!! \m/ \m/ I was worried about the new album because i read that it wouldn't have anymore "120 beat per minute" drumming, and that it would be more melodic. But ff this is one of the many on the new album then i cant wait for it in October!  | 02-10-2007 23:16 Kevin45 | 4 posts

Despite a7x saying they'd never turn political, i was waiting for it to happen, and that's why i LOVE LOVE LOVE Critical Acclaim so much. This song fucking owns face. I love the organ in the beginning, I love Jimmy's singing, I love it all. It's like an eargasm. | 20-11-2007 22:46 idontcare333 | 5 posts

I love this song because it is immediately apparent that the band has the same political views as me... I believe politics shouldn't be avoided in music. Sing it like it is, that is why I love this song. | 15-12-2007 19:23 PunkRckr8 |  11,613 posts

I'm tired of people saying that this song by the great A7x that this song is political. If your going to review this song then at least pay atention to the lyrics. The thrue meaning of Critical Acclaim is that it critisizes the critizisers. By this I mean it talks about the people who insult the solders in the war. It is not political in anyway. When in the begining where it goes "Shhh be quiet you might piss somebody off" it refers to the people who lay back in america and insults its greatness by insulting never doing anything.What he means by we have a special way of saluting he means the middle finger to those people who only critize their country by insulting the solders.This is the true meaning of the song. Also one of M. Shadows friends is in war. so yea f u people who only critisize.
And just know we are #1 and all others are just jealous. | 22-05-2009 03:39 Knxlitoz95 | 34 posts

I love this song!! It is awesome!!
And to the person who thinks that the lyrics are wrong, they aren't. It is "a clone" not acclaim.
Avenged Sevenfold are amazing!  | 30-06-2009 15:33 CHEESY_BIG_MAC | 49 posts

Overall, this is a good song on an album that did not impress me, its too slow to be called Avenged Sevenfold.
And to that guy who though he says "acclaim" "a clone"
He does say "gone too far, a clone" as a reference to those people who do nothing but insult our nation and are just like each other, all of those people are all the same, like a clone | 10-07-2009 05:09 DemonWings09 | 2 posts

I have mixed feelings about this song but I will say that it does have an awesome beat and the vocals are performed amazingly. In my opinion though it is a political song. Though it doesn't talk about politics involving politicians and things of that nature, it does deal with issues that are very heated in the political world which to me makes it a political song. I have nothing against political songs mind you, just thought I'd point it out. | 31-07-2009 21:09 ZackyVLove | 1 posts

The best thing about this song is that in many ways it is quite political and not many bands can pull off a political song as they just sound as if they are ranting but Avenged Sevenfold most certainly can! They could write a song about public loos or bunny rabbits and it would still sound good  | 01-08-2009 04:40 Supergrognar | 10 posts
