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 mind f**k 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 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

 

Television dreams of tomorrow

 

We're not the ones who're meant to follow

For that's enough to argue
