Don`t wanna be an American idiot
Don`t want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind f**k America

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
For that`s enough to argue

Well maybe I`m the fa**ot 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
For that`s enough to argue

Don`t want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It`s going out to idiot America

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
For that`s enough to argue
