Green Day
American Idiot (2004) - Lyrics

1 - 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 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.



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.
