GREEN DAY - AMERICAN IDIOT LYRICS

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindf**k America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
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

Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along in the age of paranoia

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
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

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

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
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

	to slayerownsall Using the fact that America was founded out of war and bloodshed as a basis for promoting senseless war is ignorant. You learn from your mistakes, you don't keep them out of habit. War is sometimes necessary, but not always the answer. The power of words is greatly underestimated, there are many times throughout history where simple negotiations would've worked where war caused unneccesary problems and debt. If you look deeper into history and our government you'll find that America isn't all it's cracked up to be.

	Maybe if you, slayerownsall would SHUT UP and give them a chance, and thought about what they're saying and how they are a better band than anything you probably listen to, and they are just giving THEIR OPINION of America, and you don't have to agree with it, but you do have to agree, we're a pretty f'd up nation. So get your head out of your own a$$ and realize that they kinda gotta point. And, if they've been around for twenty years, and are STILL making music, what does that tell you? That the majority of the world thinks they don't suck, so, SCREW WHAT YOU THINK!

	No, you are not interpreting it incorrectly, they are a bunch of anti-american fags who are so out of touch with the real world and have their heads so far up their own a$$es that they don't even realize it. If you don't like America, then get the f out, and let us know when you find someplace better (good luck). This country was FOUNDED by a war and bloodshed; it's a necessary part of life at times and if you can't realize that, then there is no hope for you having any intelligence, ever. Oh, and posing as being "punk", that's just f'ing hilarious, they are a crap pop rock band. They should all wear skirts and blonde wigs and change their names to Britney, that would be more fitting. Enough said, they suck.

	i am a republican and support George Bush 100%...if ur like me then answer me this...is this song completely Anti-American or am i interpreting it wrong?...my dumb-ass band director is making us play it as a stand tune at the football games and in my opinion its completely ludricrous...let me know if u think im overreacting or missinterpreting it...ttyl
