Don't wanna be an american idiot
Don't wanna nation under the new mania
And can hear the sound of hysteria
The subliminal mind f** america
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tommorow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well maybe I'm the f*ggot america
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everbody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tommorow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
(talking to crowd)
Don't wanna be an american idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information Age of hysteria
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 tommorow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
