Don't wanna be an American Idiot.
Don't want a nation that under the new media.
And get you with the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
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 fuckhead America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody kill 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.
