1. Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation that under new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America
R: 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
2. Well maybe I'm the fuckhead America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along in the age of paranoia
R: Welcome to a new kind...
3. Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation controlled by the media
Information nation of hysteria
It's going out to idiot America.
R: Welcome to a new kind...
