Billie Joe Armstrong
American Idiot - Live at Milton Keynes National Bowl, Milton Keynes, England, 6/18/05
[Verse 1]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America (Alright!)
[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
England!
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do thе propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia (Alright!)
[Chorus]
Welcomе to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue (Come on!)
[Guitar Solo]
Alright, England!
I say hey oh
I say hey oh (Come on!)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Alright
Are you guys ready to sing along?
I want you to sing so loud that every fucking redneck in America hears you tonight, alright?
[Bridge]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria (Go!)
It's calling out to idiot America
[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue (Come on!)
