Green Day : American Idiot Lyrics

Songwriters: Armstrong, Billie Joe; Pritchard, Michael; Wright, Frank E., Iii;

. Send "American Idiot" Ringtone to your Cell .

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 mind fuck America

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

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

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

Don't want to 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
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

. Send "American Idiot" Ringtone to your Cell .

My favorite lyricists of all time is Don Henley (from the Eagles) because he openly speaks to the general stupidity of our society, and how we buy in to the media hype and the political BS. We're like lost sheep. I think the modern day version of Don Henley are the guys in Green Day. This song SO nails it. It is brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant!! Wake up people. Don't be an American Idiot. If you get a chance, check out Get Over It by the Eagles.

This is the most amazing song in the world, I absoloutley LOVE it! This song should make history. Some people at my school call me a mosher because I listen to green day and paramore and you me at six etc. But just because I don't like the same music as them doesn't make me any different. It also doesnt mean I am different!! The make me so sad sometimes :( xx
