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 America

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alienation

Where everything isn't meant to be O.K.

Television dreams of tomorrow

We're not the ones meant to follow

For that's enough to argue

Well maybe I am the faggot America

I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Now everybody do the propaganda!

And sing along in the age of paranoia

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alienation

Where everything isn't meant to be O.K.

Television dreams of tomorrow

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

For that's enough to argue

Don't want to be an American idiot

One nation controlled by the media

Information age of hysteria

Calling out to Idiot America™

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the alienation

Where everything isn't meant to be O.K.

Television dreams of tomorrow

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

For that's enough to argue
