American Idiot

Don't wanna be an American Idiot

Don't wanna share under the new media

And can you hear the sound of the stereo?

The subliminal mind fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alienation

When everything is not meant to be ok

Intelligent dreams of tomorrow

We're not the ones who are meant to fall over, that's enough to argue

Well in the end, in fact, in America

I'm not a part of your ethnic agenda

Now everybody do the propaganda

And sing along to the age of paranoia

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alien nation

Where everything isn't meant to be okay

In television dreams of tomorrow

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

For that's enough to argue

Don't wanna be an American idiot

Won't measure control by the media

Information age of hysteria

It's calling out the alien America

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alien nation

Where everything is meant to be okay

In television dreams of tomorrow

We're not the ones who are meant to follow

For that's enough to hurt you
