American Idiot

Preview Full Track

Lyricist:     Composer:



Don't wanna 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

You lookin' at me?

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

Luke!

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 alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay

I'm not fucking okay!

Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
C'mon!
