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-fuck 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
