Don't want to be an American idiot Don't want a nation under the new media
Ain't got you with the sound of hysteria Let's subliminal my America
Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation
The years are meant to be okay
The television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones meant to follow
But that's enough to argue
Well maybe I'm the American
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along at the edge of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation
Where everything is meant to be okay
The television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones meant to follow
But that's enough to argue
Don't want to be an American idiot One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria Is calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation
Where everything is meant to be okay
The television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones meant to follow
But that's enough to argue
Thank you
