Lyrics
American Idiot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
