Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sounds of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.

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 
Boy that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm a 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.
Boy that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
Calling out to Idiot Americaâ„¢.

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 meant to follow.
Boy that's enough to argue
