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