Lyric discussion by manicvermilion 

Cover art for Critical Acclaim lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

This song is clearly about extremist democrats and liberals. There is a lot of growth in the Independent party. People are tired of picking a side, bending a knee to a platform agenda. I'm sure both Libs and Conservs will point fingers at AX7. People can't seem to accept that you DON'T HAVE TO BE EITHER A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. Judging by their lyrics, I assume AX7 are Independents. Maybe not. Either way, they're clearly not concerned about what extreme conservs and libs think about their lyrics. Great rock and metal, great musicians, great lyrics. Great attitudes. I'm with them on this one, I'm TIRED of people acting as if they're hearts bleed for the kids in Iraq or the soldiers...it's all smoke. Drama for their boring lives.

@Manicvermilion Amen to that. If more people realized that they didn't have to choose between 2 totally screwed up platforms, this country would be far better off. This notion that most have that there can only be 2, totally blows my mind. Especially considering where each of those two has gotten us.

@manicvermilion They have actually identified themselves as Republicans in several interviews.
