American Idiot

Don't want to be an American idiot.

Don't want a nation under the new mania

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 okay.

Television dreams of tomorrow.

We're not the ones who're 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 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.

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

It's calling out to idiot 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're meant to follow.

For that's enough to argue.
