Don't wanna be an American idiot?
Don't wanna a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America 

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't mean 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 faggot 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 alienation
Where everything isn't mean 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 wanna de an American idiot?
One nation controlled by the mania
Information age of hysteria
 
It's calling out to idiot America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't mean to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
