Icon For Hire - Cynics & Critics Lyrics
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
If you're happy and you know it
Clap you hands like this
What on earth we missed
If you're happy and you know it
Stomp your feet real loud
The rest of us could use some cheering up right now
Oh please, shoot us up
With something shiny and quick
We like our thrills dirt cheap
And our irony thick
Oh whatever, never mind
I guess we'll heal the old fashioned way
And do it ourselves
Oh this is all we know
Oh tragic and miserable
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
Oh this is all we've got
Oh we do what we've been taught
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
Sometimes I think we push your buttons just for fun
Sometimes I think our kind of crazy has already been done
We're a copy of a copy, everything we swore we'd not be
Yeah, the truth hurts, but it hasn't stung enough to stop me
Oh please, can't you give us
Something better than this
We've built up a tolerance
To all your veteran tricks
You're busy smiling on cue
When you don't have a clue
We're a mess and we know it
We want you to know too
Oh this is all we know
Oh tragic and miserable
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
Oh this is all we've got
Oh we do what we've been taught
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
If you're happy and you know it
Then there might be something wrong with you
What's the point in holding on
When all of us don't want you to
It'd make us feel better
Knowing you'd be stuck forever
Sick minds stick together
We can stay sick forever
Oh this is all we know
Oh tragic and miserable
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all
Oh this is all we know
Oh tragic and miserable
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
Oh this is all we've got
Oh we do what we've been taught
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway

Icon For Hire Cynics & Critics Comments
Anyone in 2020 jamming out, lol it's my birthday and my gift is remembering this band
This band is doing better than ever being independent than they ever could have done while being signed to t&n.
it seems to be more about people who turn to things for happiness maybe because of past problems and stuff and they just want happiness but they can't seem to get it so they turn to destructive outlets.
1:06 best part
Holy wow I forgot how much I loved this song when I was younger
Man, I used to think it was "we're a copy of a copy, everything's Illuminati!" XD
NOSTALGIA
This is what i got to say to the police about anything but it worse when I was homeless and there was a random guy going out attacking homeless people... I told them regular people watch them attack us, so normal people think its okay to hurt us too... Exspesially in Henderson, nv... Never heard this song till after I already said "No one belives you"
Oof, the background during the chorus makes me dizzy.
Fuck you, 12 year old me, for only listening to Watch Me and none of this band's other songs.
commentary channels in a nutshell
How the fuck did I survive 3 years without listening to this band?!
First two lines kicked the assets of phoney geeks.. This is gooood🤘
I'm confused, I do not know if I'm listening to "Paramore" or "Icon for Hire" haha
This sounds nothing like paramore
Getting a little Hollywood undead vibe from this one :P
Holy shit, this song is absolutely perfect for my group of metahuman antiheroes/villains from something I'm writing.
Haha! it reminds me of one of my ships! (Carmen X GRay)
Christian rock is always the best rock
Icon For Hire, you guys are more than just a rock band - You guys are PHENOMENONAL ADVOCATES!!! It's ridiculous that you guys are not on the mainstream because they need you guys badly!!! ❤
Headbanged to this and hit my ipad, small bump on my head now lol
To make this music more energetic set speed video on 1,5x
0:44 tonny hawk
OMG this song is the BOOM its just so dawmmm cool I love the song its so freaking ROCKS , the background is just PERFECT u guys r so awesome . GOD BLESS U 👏👏👏👏😀😁🙏😂🙏....... !!
They mashed this and Get well at their Sounwave Sydney tour in their opening act a few years ago and it sounded epic.
Manny Shaikh Nice!!
I'M JUST BINGING THROUGH ICON FOR HIRE SONGS SO I CAN ADD THEM TO MY PERSONAL PLAYLIST
OMG I'm seeing a counciler and I feel so much I get on her buttons and these are the lyrics my life
319 people clicked the wronged button. They meant to click thumbs up.
Daniel Storey 320 now.
*lahmff12 intensifies
someone mash this up with alphabet boy by melanie martinez *please*
I’ve never had such an obsession with a song. I listened to it 3 days ago and I’ve played it at least 15 times.
THPS5 GOT VERY LIT
Isn't THPS5 great?!
Damn did they bring it in this song
I loved this band and Hollywood undead, it may have been the best concert ever besides slipknot
I havnt listened to rock in decades.. but this is sweweweeet. This band became the soundtrack of my life :D
Best thats out there on the modern scene!!
Are they still signed to this label?
👌🏻
I’m great
my angsty 12 y/o emo self would be so proud of me listening to this rn lmao
ruetube Dude same. I had good ass music taste back then.
Hahahahahhaha
I first thought that this is paramore tbh
walnuts
ok she is that rocker wild girl and i need me a girl who loves doing things
this speaks about millenials lol
Slowly converting people to this band so I can have a reason to talk to anyome during lunchtime, with us just screaming the lyrics and everyone looks at us funny.
Flamethrowing!!!
Saludos de Argentina
Justin Bieber have so many fans and is horrible but icon haves so little. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK
Ariel is Bea
This would of been a great song for the suicide squad sound track
(Goes to past me) HOW CAN YOU FORGET THIS? (slaps past me)
ARIEL BLOOMER BABAY
UNDERRATED AF
They have the best live show!!!!!
The one thing that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 did right.
Anyone listioning to this in 2017
little demon always
littledevil girl 2018 now
Muito bosta
Im here because of an AMV - Shiny Blood
this marie I like their old stuff better than the new
2:11 perfect
HER VOCALS ARE SO GOOD, AAAAHHHHHHHHH! W H Y
most underrated band
i get antidepresent commercials on this sooooooo. should condom commercials be on rap songs now. makes sense to me
I'm into rock music these days for some reason
ARIEL: WE CAN STAY SICK 4EVER!!!!!!!!!
ME: best. day. ever.
I wish this band was more popular aghhhhh
why does this band remind me of a more hardcore paramore?
The band looks like a bunch of hot topic try hards. Like, Look at our ridiculous hair, repugnant makeup, and wild colors. We get it,...you make rock music.
Reminds me a lot of old paramore
It seemed like she tried to go with some screamos there. If she had it wouldn't be satisfying but regardless still perfect
<3 Ariel Bloomer
THPS 5 brought me here, and i am here to stay! Great song
♥I'm so in love with this music video! I just wish they joined it themselves rather than it being on Tooth and Nails channel
Aw man, I used to listen to this. 3 edgy 5 me
is this music considered emo
How about bubblegum pop rock? Pop meaning more sound-wise.
stitched up heart anyone
WOW this is very good!!
if anything needed a real video it's this.
Pro Skater 5??
I will admit getting the sick sore on the moon base while listing to thisThis song is just golden
Nice style!
Mi obsesión por esta canción en el 2013 D:
Been a while since I've head banged this song lol! 😂 it's still awesome!
(≧∇≦)/(≧∇≦)/(≧∇≦)/╮(─▽─)╭╮(─▽─)╭ヽ( ´¬`)ノ(´ε`*)(´ε`*)
sounds so good on a Android phone
i came here cause of kinenz
This shit is absolute cancer
Then why search for it?
In my opinion, this album is still their best. the new album doesn't have much of that fun beat this album has. the "you can't kill us" album beat is kinda hard to hold up and the lyrics aren't as creative as this one. but I still love them anyway. and will support them anyway i can
I cant get a cd? i have to download it???
this song at the speed 1.25 is great
Wasted potential? Who know? Cheeers!
I love 😢😍😛
0:21 to 0:31 best part ;)
NO! 0:31 to 0:40 is da best :S :S :S
@Some random guy Nope
NO! You're all wrong! The best part is obviously 0:00 to 3:23!
@Annathecommenter lol stfu and gtfo >:/
This is just on the edge for me, if the music were any heavier I would hate it. But as it stands it's just the right amount that I can still rock out to it.
@The Shadowman 2.0 there's no shame there bro lol
i guess you're here for the same reason?
TheKeller101 this meets the middle ground perfectly. I like my rock a little harder, but I still love it
@The Shadowman 2.0 I am. :)
Me like :3
i want this band to be more well known, but at the same time i wanna cuddle it and kidnap it and keep it all to myself.
True song people will be people lol with lying n bs :(
@Caoimhe Rothwell r/iam14andthisisdeep
@Potter TheAvenger creep
最高にロックだぜ。
this song has 1.3m views, at least half of them are people coming to this video more than once :) it's in the ballpark of 150k - 200k unique viewers
WAAAAAH THIS IS MY HEAVEN OF MUSIC<333333
Hi toothandnail, can you tell me what program you used to create this video?
What an asshole eh?
I wish I could finance this band .there is know reason for them not to be mainstrean.they are awesome.and I love her range..I'd love to she here and Lizzy hale from halestorm collaborate ! that would put them on the map !
