American Idiot Songtext
von Green Day

Don′t wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn′t meant to be okay
In 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
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who′re 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
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
In television dreams of tomorrow
We′re not the ones who′re meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
