American Idiot Lyrics

[00:10.92] Don't wanna be an American idiot
[00:16.04] Don't want a nation under the new media
[00:21.17] And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
[00:26.20] The subliminal mind fuck America
[00:31.37] Welcome to a new kind of tension
[00:34.20] All across the alienation
[00:36.72] Where everything isn't meant to be okay
[00:41.80] Television dreams of tomorrow
[00:44.41] We're not the ones who're meant to follow
[00:46.93] For that's enough to argue
[00:57.28] Well maybe I'm the faggot America
[01:02.52] I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
[01:07.57] Now everybody do the propaganda
[01:12.76] And sing along to the age of paranoia
[01:17.96] Welcome to a new kind of tension
[01:20.68] All across the alienation
[01:23.17] Where everything isn't meant to be okay
[01:28.37] Television dreams of tomorrow
[01:30.96] We're not the ones who're meant to follow
[01:33.60] For that's enough to argue
[02:12.28] Don't want to be an American idiot
[02:14.88] One nation controlled by the media
[02:17.48] Information age of hysteria
[02:19.99] It's calling out to idiot America
[02:22.68] Welcome to a new kind of tension
[02:25.28] All across the alienation
[02:27.75] Where everything isn't meant to be okay
[02:32.95] Television dreams of tomorrow
[02:35.51] We're not the ones who're meant to follow
[02:38.24] For that's enough to argue
[02:54.71]
