"American Idiot"

Verse 1
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 mess America

Chorus
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 who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Verse 2
Well maybe I'm the idiot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Chorus
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 who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Verse 3
Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America

Chorus
(As above)
