American Idiot

Don't wanna be an American idiot

Don't want a nation under the new media

And can you hear the sound of hysteria?

The subliminal mind fuck AmericaWelcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alien nation

Where everything isn't meant to be okayTelevision dreams of tomorrow

We're not the ones who're meant to follow

For that's enough to argueWell maybe I'm the faggot America

I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Now everybody do the propaganda

And sing along to the age of paranoiaWelcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alien nation

Where everything isn't meant to be okayTelevision dreams of tomorrow

We're not the ones who're meant to follow

For that's enough to argueDon't want to be an American idiot

One nation controlled by the media

Information age of hysteria

It's going out to idiot AmericaWelcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alien nation

Where everything isn't meant to be okayTelevision dreams of tomorrow

We're not the ones who're meant to follow

For that's enough to argue
