Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
Hey, can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-f*ck America
Chorus:
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be OK
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough 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
Chorus
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to idiot America **
