American Idiot

Don't want to 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 America

Welcome to a new kind of tension all across the alien nation. Where's everything meant to be okay?

And television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones who aren't meant to follow

For that's enough to argue

Well maybe I'm the faggot America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along all the age of paranoia

Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation

Where's everything meant to be okay?

The television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones who weren't meant to follow

For that's enough to argue Don't wanna be an American idiot

One nation controlled by the media Information age of hysteria

It's going out to Indian America

New kind of tension

All across the alien nation

Was everything meant to be okay?

And television dreams of tomorrow

Were not the ones who weren't meant to follow

For that's enough to argue
