Lyrics
Verse 1 (Type 1)
Don't wanna be an American Idiot.
Don't want a nation that don a new media.
And get you hear the sounds of hysteria
The subliminal mindf..k America.
Chorus
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
Connecting them to lock you
Verse 2 (Type 1)
Well maybe I'm the f..khead America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along in the age of paranoia
Verse 3 (Type 2)
Don't wanna be an American Idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to Idiot America
