Don't wanna be an american idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
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 meant to follow
for that's enough to argue

Well maybe I'm the faggot america
Im 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 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
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 meant to follow
for that's enough to argue
