SONG

American Idiot

This song is named “American Idiot” because of the things happening at that time in the United Stated. It talks about a nation controlled by the new biased media, and how the Singer of this group doesn’t belong to a “Redneck Agenda” discontent with how things are going.

This song was released while the presidential campaign of the country was taking place, the one in which George W. Bush was re-elected.

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 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 wanna be an American idiot

One nation controlled by the media

Information Age of histeria

It’s calling 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.
