[Spoken Word Intro]
Radio operator: Right now, you're listening to a radio station called Absolute Radio

[Verse 1: Audience]
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**** America

[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
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 the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
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 (Letsgo fucking crazy!)
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America

[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
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 (Manchester!)

[Spoken Word Outro]
Billie: This is crazy ******* ****** up, and I'll tell ya that right now. That's the spirit. This song is dedicated to every single person that comes from a small ****** town. This song is called "Jesus of Suburbia"
