Luke Hemmings
American Idiot
[Intro: Luke]
Welcome to the
I wanna listen to Green Day
[Verse 1: Michael, Ashton]
(Go!)
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria? (Haha)
The subliminal mind-**** America
[Chorus: Luke, All]
(Ah-ah-ah)
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
(Ah-ah-ah)
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
[Verse 2: Michael, Ashton]
(Oh!)
Well, maybe I'm the **** America
I'm not a part of the redneck agenda
Now, everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
(You lookin' at me?)
[Chorus: Calum, All]
(Ah-ah-ah)
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
(Ah-ah-ah)
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude: Michael]
Luke!
[Bridge: All, Calum]
(Hey! Hey!) Don't wanna be an American idiot
(Hey!) One nation controlled by the media
(Hey!) Information age of hysteria
(Hey!) It's callin' out to idiot America
[Chorus: Michael, All, Ashton]
(Ah-ah-ah)
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay (I'm not f—ing okay!)
(Ah-ah-ah)
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
[Outro: Michael]
Come on!
Ow!
