Don't want a nation under the new media
For that's enough to argue
And sing along to the age of paranoia
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
The subliminal mind fuck America
All across the alien nation
For that's enough to argue
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
Don't want to be an American idiot
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
Welcome to a new kind of tension
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
For that's enough to argue
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
It's going out to idiot America
All across the alien nation
Television dreams of tomorrow
One nation controlled by the media
Now everybody do the propaganda
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Information age of hysteria
Television dreams of tomorrow
Welcome to a new kind of tension
Welcome to a new kind of tension
Don't wanna be an American idiot

Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
All across the alien nation
