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.
Are you ready?
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 everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who are meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
