Lyrics:
Don\'t wanna be an American idiot
Don\'t want a nation under the new mania [Verse 1]
Can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn\'t meant to be OK [Chorus]
Television dreams of tomorrow
We\'re not the ones meant to follow
For that\'s enough to argue
Well, maybe I\'m the faggot, America
I\'m not a part of a redneck agenda [Verse 2]
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along in the age of paranoia
[Chorus]
Don\'t wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media [Verse 3]
Information age of hysteria
It\'s going out to idiot America
[Chorus]
