Intro :G# (x4)
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 mea nt to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
(x2)
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 mea nt to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
