American Idiot

[Verse 1]

Don't want to be an American idiot

One nation controlled by the media

And can you hear the sound of hysteria?

The subliminal mind fuck America

[Hook]

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 fuckhead America

I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

Now everybody do the propaganda

And sing along to the age of paranoia

[Hook]

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
