Don't want to be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay

Television dreams of tomorrow
We are not the ones who are 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
Now, evеrybody into the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

Wеlcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay

Television dreams of tomorrow
We are not the ones who are meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's 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 tomorrow
We are not the ones who are meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
