Lyrics

(Don't wanna be an American idiot)
(Don't want a nation under the new media)
(Can you hear the sound of hysteria?)
(The subliminal mindfuck 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 who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Alright, Montreal

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, oh

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

I'm losing my fucking mind

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 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

Let's go fucking crazy
