American Idiot

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Don't wanna be an American idiot One nation controlled by the media Information age of hysteria It's calling out to idiot America [Chorus] 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
