Don't wanna be an American Idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
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 ok
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Maybe I am 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 ok
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Don't wanna be an American Idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Is going out to Idiot America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be ok
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue.
