[Verse 1]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't wanna be the inside affiliate
Information age is full of static
And everyone is in a fucking panic

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be in with the it crowd
I'll always be the one cast out of
The legions of the idiot side
Don't wanna be the one pretending
Every story has a happy ending
For that's enough to argue

[Verse 2]
I'm not in love with the radio
I'm not a dog that's gonna follow
My tie is blown with propaganda
Take a look at idiot America

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be in with the it crowd
I'll always be the one cast out of
The legions of the idiot side
Don't wanna bе the one pretеnding
Every story has a happy ending
For that's enough to argue
No way
[Bridge]
Dreaming the days away
Pretending it's okay
And when the dream is gone
It's never okay

[Guitar Solo]
