Don't wanna be an
American idiot
don't want a nation under
the new mania
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 f***ot
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
