Don't wanna be an
American idiot.
Don't want a nation that
under the new media.
And can you hear
the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck 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.
Convincing them to walk you.
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.
Convincing them to walk you.
