Icon For Hire - Cynics and Critics Lyrics
[Intro]
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
[Verse 1]
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands like this
Cause the rest of us are wondering 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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, please shoot us up
With something shiny and quick
We like our thrills dirt-cheap
And our irony thick
Oh, whatever, nevermind
We're just crying for help
I guess we'll heal the old-fashioned way
And do it ourselves
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Yea, the truth hurts, but it hasn't stung enough to stop me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, please can't you give us
Something better than this
We've built up a tolerance
To all of 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say
We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway

#ToothAndNailRecords #IconForHire
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
Same, I remember discovering this band 6 years ago when I was around 13 years old and it seemed so new and eye opening at the time
Still a banger tho
When you're at your volume limit but it doesn't seem loud enough tho
Yup
I FUCKING HATE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN I LISTEN TO SLIPKNOT... MY... EARS... MUST... BLEEEEEEEEEED!!!
I have an iphone, worst fricken sound ever!!!!! It's like "NUUUUUUUU LOUDERRRRRRRRRR"
same
Same
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.
Ikr
Same, I understand the pain.
Exsomnis Anima totally this. I want them to be huge but I love that they're "one of my bands" 😊
Strange, I would love to do that with Ariel.
Dude,But we all Love Icon for Hire.
Don't steal it for yourself xD
They aren't a Christian rock band, they're a rock band who's members happen to be christian. They don't preach Christianity in their songs and have made a point of saying that they aren't a Christian band. They are however FUCKING AWESOME!!
The fact I never knew they were christian says a lot.
So, so many religious people are between chill and fucking awesome. Wish more people would take notice.
A few songs sound like conversations with a higher power (like "fix me") but they never mention a specific higher power. Religiousness in music done right.
@@Emerald-t7kIn their song "Off With Your Head" they say "Savior"
@@amyhatfield9562 that's a dig at someone not God. "save your own cause I don't want to be this, I don't want to be this. Death is mine I know, don't let go don't let go savior" thinking more about it it may be directed at some sort of medical professional. Like I don't want to live off medication I don't want to need it to breath I don't want to be a zombie and it's a Drs job to save people.
@@amyhatfield9562 a savior doesn't mean religion.
Anyone in 2020 jamming out, lol it's my birthday and my gift is remembering this band
Lindsey Nixon me
This song is kinda lit tho
I just found this band a few months ago so it's all still new to me
Jamming in 2020!!!! (Also happy belated birthday ;D )
cheers to that
You can't compare this with Paramore... No hate against Paramore, I fucking love them. But really, this sounds absolutely nothing like Paramore. But this song is awesome!
I agree
No offense but ive noticed that Icon for Hire has a far heavier sound than Paramore.
GamingRisen
You're right. Paramore started of with a pop-punk emo sound and switched towards a more pop-rockish sound in the last few years.
Icon for Hire is definitely on the fine line separating metal and lighter genres like rock and punk... if they aren't metal to begin with.
Light or heavy, neither is bad or good, it's all up to preferences. But yeah, Paramore is way less heavy than than Icon for Hire. Even in their old albums like Riot! and All we Know is Falling are lighter than IFH.
I agree, even when Paramore has used unclean vocals in the past, the sound was not as heavy as IFH. But I'm just over seeing Paramore brought up on videos from bands that have a woman lead.
Ben Enderby I feel like the lyrics are similar to Paramore's older music, but their styles have major differences.
Wait, wait... There's no religious argument going on in the comments here? Trolls have been slacking...
There isn't a god, moron. *request the passing of the popcorn*
Peter Parker
If god isn't real, then who wrote the bible?
*Passes popcorn*
A bunch of old white dudes who were determined to keep women and other religions oppressed by feeding on the minds of the naive.
/adds salt to popcorn
moxshyfter God made the bible himself! The bible is holy you shouldn't be making jokes about it. You will all pay for your sins! atheists are gonna go to hell! *grabs pringles*
Anissa MacKay and jesus didnt excist ever, if you do some research you'd know that.
At 2:11 is when Ariel went into overdrive and started screaming at warped. Absolutely amazing!
Ariel screamed??? AWESOME!
BlueGhostofSeaside Her name is Ariel?
her name is Ariel Bloomer. And yes, she screamed like a freaking bad ass.
MAN! I wish I could have seen that!
IM GONNA GO SEE THEM IN JUNE!!! XD
Why is this band SO UNDERRATED AH
because only 2 abulms man
+Sebastian Arnold That doesn't explain it. There first album wasn't exactly unsuccessful, look at the millions of views their music videos have, even this one has over a million. It's just that now they don't have a label, so they don't get the same publicity and are funded literally only by fans.
+Redstar2613 excuse me? their first album wasn't successful? I think 90% of the fans would agree with me that the first album is like 1000 times better then the second album, on which they basically lost me as a fan.. sad to see that they don't continue the road they were on.. first album is Maby the best female fronted album ever
+Onno Kul Actually, 100% of REAL fans would agree that the albums are equal. Also, they said "wasn't exactly UNsuccesful"
Very underrated, hadn't heard of them until I was bored ;-; really good deserve a lot more
part of me wants this band to be more well known but the other part of me likes that only a few people really know it
right
Same
We're all fuckin' hipsters.
+bookwormgamer99 not me
+bookwormgamer99 truee lmao
FUCK DIS SHIT I AM OUT. WHY THE HELL IS A BEAUTIFUL BAND LIKE THIS SO UNDERRATED?!?!?!!!?!!? This is an outrage!!! I demand to see my lawyer!!!
Same I literally prank called a lawyer
+Elspeth Palmer shit really
+your worst nightmare yup they said if I call this line again they will get the police to track it lol I wanna do it again though
+Gothic Nightmare It's a shame. They deserve more attention but frankly the truth isn't viewed well by most people. Most people would rather listen to artists who sing of love rather than important and meaningful and REAL topics and messages.
Everyones freaking about it just now, but honeslty when i listened to 'Nerves' 2-3 years ago i was like y DO ONLY FEW PEOPLE LOVE YOU
_We're not _*_cynics_*_ we just don't believe a word you say_
_We're not _*_critics_*_ we just hate it all anyways_
•JoZIE• mood
what the fuck why is this band not more popular
Because popular culture SUCKS!!
The same for tonight alive
***** No, they've been around for like seven years….
They left their record label, so they're only getting exposure on Warped Tour. No help to get well known.
Dont... Dance..! In public..! OH SCREW IT!! Society looks at me weirdly anyways! ^.•
thedarkangel5601 true dat
guess we'll heal the old fashioned way and do it out selfs ! i fucking love that line becuse i know how it is to be a independent lady
if anything needed a real video it's this.
The effects on this video are fuckin crazy. best I have ever seen on a lyrics video
+Chaox Corrupted You must be a fan of windows movie maker, lol.
+Chaox Corrupted " The Animal In Me - I Created A Monster "
or "orelsan suicide social clip officiel " (really make sens if you know French for this one)
Man, Ariel can scream 🙈🙉🙊
if you like that, you should check out halestorm.
409 In Your Coffee Maker when exactly did she scream??
You should hear her live
***** lol okay?
+TheCollisionofworlds You DO know that you can scream without growling or whatever u think screaming is. You can scream in a clear voice to!
This song absolutely made THPS 5 along with the more modern gameplay
Listen to this everyday.......DON'T JUDGE ME!!!! XD
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!!! ❤
PHENOMINAL ADVOCATES. YES!! Check out "Under the knife". Especially the ending. WOW!! (And I'm not even emo).
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.
yea!
Hah! You can't handle heavy music! This is extremely soft though compared to what I normally listen to.
Bioactive Virus lol yeah this is soft
The Shadowman 2.0 it is lol. I listen mostly to extreme genres of metal
lol same I found this because I wanted to hear something new lol
Ariel at her best as always
Seen these in Birmingham 2014 as well as Hollywood Undead it was freaking amazing night...
LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suppose
HU is in my top 5 and IFH is my new band obsession.
I saw these guys and Hollywood undead at soundwave 2015
Mad Max Miner I was there too, epic night and both bands kicked it! Felt a bit strange though because nobody else knew these guys... my group was like the only people singing along to them :P
This needs to be a wwe entrance theme for a female wrestler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@@@@@@@@---

@@timvasser9 thanks for comment my fav is alexa bliss
@@MJforlife-777 Alexa is my number 1!!! Have her pops, shirts, etc.
HER VOCALS ARE SO GOOD, AAAAHHHHHHHHH! W H Y
i like how brutally honest she is with everyone and herself in her music shes not afraid to say her opinion out loud "if your happy and you know it then there must be something wrong with you" "whats the point of holding on when all of us dont want you to, it'd make us feel better knowing you'd be stuck forever" and "sick minds stick together we can stay sick forever" i fricken love it.
oh my god what brilliance have i just found
Alex Green bahaha me last year
Shiny Blood AMV
+Louluvre Montpellier that kyoukai no kanata amv
teenage angst in a nutshell
Paramore can never be this angry...or sound this good angry.
Amazing job on this video! Thanks a bunch for making this. Please make more! Oh, and Ariel is so pretty. I've met her twice in person and she is very personable and a "Perfect 10".
I absolutely love Scripted but this Album is Such a disappointment don't get me wrong I still love IFH I just really don't like this Album its wayy to electronic sounding
I agree, older album amazing..
There's a clear difference between this album and Scripted
I mean, Ariel did say this album was gonna be more "Heavier... more aggressive"
And by god was she right :)
I like it for what it is, i like Scripted too, even though different.
When Scripted was released it was like two idle there years before this one, people can drastically change within three years, or maybe even less.
UnicornUniverse congratulations. Want a sticker?
I keep accidently saying Icon For Hire is Icon On Fire o.0 idk why haha.
I do it too xD
Josh Gilbert
haha yay! im not alone XP though i think Icon On Fire sounds cooler o.0
Kristianna Flores
probably because there is already a group with this name lol
there is? XD lolo I feel stupid XP
dont feel bad i did the same thing once. lol
Been a while since I've head banged this song lol! 😂 it's still awesome!
Osu!!
Yeah... me too budy, where the same 😔😉
+Owl's Drunk (澪長野原) same xD
+Owl Drunk aw ye. Found it there. :D Love OSU for this.
Gergő Deés xD
Kagamine Len (^^;xD
This has to be the angstiest song I've ever heard. This makes Linkin Park look happy.
I just saw them live tonight and it was the best concert that I have honestly ever been to. Their first album was a little managed and controlled and with this new album they had all the freedom they wanted. It. Is. Going. To. Be. Sick.
(Goes to past me) HOW CAN YOU FORGET THIS? (slaps past me)
I think I found a new favorite rocker chick.
I am not exaggerating, this is the best song I have ever heard. Icon For Hire, you are my favorite band. Never stop playing.
This is gunna be on the next Tony Hawks soundtrack right?
yes
Perfect song! People are fake, sad present time. :(
saw them yesterday. my car broke down twice (the second time the engine blew). had to run 3 miles, then take a cab the rest of the way.
it was a 2.5 hour car ride WITHOUT breaking down. (so glad i left early). this band is amazing, and im so glad i heard about them a year or so ago. even though im out of a car now, im glad i saw them. i had SUCH an amazing time.
this song is so good, and it sounds even BETTER live.
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!!
Am I the only one who thinks this could be about depression and/or suicide?
***** burgers > hotdogs
+Hope Tuohy The song is about bad people ;) And bad time.
+Hope Tuohy nioe but i love it
+hotdog Tru
+Hope Tuohy No, I can see that, I see it more as a thing about drug addiction. Considering these things are up to the observer, listener in this case, it could be about happy go lucky days.
I came here because of the tony hawk proskater 5
Go away.
Nick Schoenhoft make me bitch
+Eric Williams fuck yeah
salvldz lol yep
+Eric Williams me too
Congratulations on getting on the latest Pro Skater.
Yeah it's weird seeing put it on that because I both love and hate this song.
fucking beautiful
Seriously, I can't help but love this band! Other bands come and go, but seriously, Icon forever!
2021 still love this song 🙃
This band is doing better than ever being independent than they ever could have done while being signed to t&n.
Lol good lord these guys have grown fast. I remember going to their first concert. I still have their "The Grey" EP release show autographed t-shirt by the original members. Man...
No lyrics video in existence has ever had better quality than this one. Both the visuals and the song was spectacular. :)
+1 Like
Keep up the wonderful work.
Rubeus. M look up bullet by Hollywood undead
Icon for hire will FOREVER stay in my heart!! they helped through rouuughhh times in my teenage years! truly icons of music!
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.
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"
This band just gets better and better
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
This was one the radio and i have been in love with it since OMGGG ITS PERFFFECTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i love paramore and this is amazing bc i love paramore and it reminds me of hayley :DDDD
Really? I love Paramore too, yet too me they're too different.
Overkill much its really just a song
***** ikr but i love them both and Natalee Walczak chill i like thi song and if you dont like it get off of my comment
You misunderstand, I love Icon For Hire a lot ^.^
I'm simply saying that I don't find much likeness other than that they're kinda the same genre, but that's MY opinion :)
it was something like 99.7 or something but i like in ohio so it might be different
One of my favorite songs
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 👏👏👏👏😀😁🙏😂🙏....... !!
How the fuck did I survive 3 years without listening to this band?!
Awesome Song!
This band is AWESOME. I only found out about them and their songs are just awesome! Love Them!
1:06 best part
stitched up heart anyone
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.
Mi obsesión por esta canción en el 2013 D:
2023 anyone reliving their emo phase?
their concert brought me here, i like them a lot now n.n
I'm here for an old deleted sonic amv
Somehow she reminds me of Ronnie Radke.
I was thinking the same thing. When it started I thought "I'm not sure if I'm gonna like this" but that thought was thrashed out of my mind fairly quickly
i want to see them at warped SO BAD :(
My friend took me to see them. I had no idea who they were at the time but I'm glad I went along. They are so much better live! If you can, keep track of their tours. Maybe you can see them the next time around. Definitely worth the money.
commentary channels in a nutshell
I love how my dad loves this band and hes an oldie type rocker
Me too!! And I'm probably older than your Dad. HAHA!!
@@hauntedhighway2166 hes 38
@@auto_toons_official2423 I'm MUCH older than 38!! Been listening to music a looooooong time!! Hard rock fan here. I hope you have a SUPER BLESSED day!!
The song of Video-gamers
Such a great song!!!!!!!!!!
Still banging to this in 2023
i came here from listening Hope Of Morning :3 that song gave me a good taste and i decided to give a opportunity to this artist and now i know it worth it :3 so perfect!
As did I XD
David Ernesto Lopez Vela That song is the reason I got into their music! I love all of these songs!
i love all their music! the more i listen the more i see so much meaning in the words. Wonderful band, my favorite ^^
Holy wow I forgot how much I loved this song when I was younger
WOW this is very good!!
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 !
So why don't you do more videos with the lyrics like this?
I mean, it has to be difficult, but if you did, I'm sure I am not the only one who would want to throw money at you for it.
These songs are all amazing, and deserve to be distributed the same. I can't find a single channel with good lyrics videos for all of Icon for Hire's songs.
"sick minds stick together, we can stay sick forever" AAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a chance of having a female fronted band that isn't compared to Evanescence, Paramore or Flyleaf... there already isn't enough female singers/musicians in rock so stop with the sexism, I've never seen someone compare male fronted bands to eachother for having a male singer. Icon for Hire are underrated just like many other female fronted bands so it doesn't help them at all when you complain or accuse them of copying eachother. Anyways this song is amazing, this is their YEAR!
She sings with such power and it's awesome!!!!
can Icon For Hire come to England with their amazing music already?
I saw them live last year, they are AMAZING. Ariel has a really great stage presence.
I loved this band and Hollywood undead, it may have been the best concert ever besides slipknot
I like it better than paramore
Very good song and I can't wait for the new album! Fuck that comparing bullshit like "OMG woman sing in a modern rock it must be sounds like paramore"!
I love icon for hire. My favorites are super and spice, and make a move and the grey.
2:11 perfect
So... if you don't have a problem don't say anything? I'm not shallow minded when it comes to music I listen to many different genres. ok?

Flamethrowing!!!
I will admit getting the sick sore on the moon base while listing to thisThis song is just golden
THIS WAS PUBLISHED ON MY BIRTHDAY
I honestly didn't like this song at first, but after a few listens, this album has really grown on me. Great job, IFH. :)
