I mean I agree with the message, but I don't think their the ones who shoud be making the point. And like ten years ago weren't they just supposed to be apathetic stoners, that was working for me. Why don't they go back to that? Americans... stupid or not? | Reviewer: Genesis | 7/5/07 Some americans like Bush are real retards... I respect people for saying that, but other americans arn't. I mean the people that support the idea that Bush has corrupted the United States are smart people. Most of those Republicans only think that power and nukes are the only thing important. It's not just that it's that tons of people need help in the U.S. plus Bush doesn't really care about that. He only cares for most of Texas cause he was born there. I mean, get real, don't just care for yor gay birth place actually care for everyone. Plus he thinks the country is ok just cause he's livin good doesn't mean eveyone is. I agree w/ Green day, the Government is just messed up. Hope u guys agree too, Bush is messed up everywhere... i love you | Reviewer: laura | 6/23/07 type one you franck etepen below wil be you please performen submit and published Help | Reviewer: Greenday Is Sooo wik | 6/13/07 I'm doing a project on the American Idiot, and I need to know what Billy Joe wanted 2 express in this song, So far I have gathered that It's about politics and how he doesn't agree wit dem... Anything I need 2 add Perfect Political Song | Reviewer: Slapstick | 5/30/07 This song tells about what America really is. The whole country is outta wack and it's driving me insane!!! When is George W. Bush (aka "Asshole) going to get out of here? jacob comming out | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/30/07 chris sasid that american idiot was the crappiest thing he ever done heard " and then" said jacob" " i am gonna put a gerbal in my bumhole" DIXIE BITCH | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/30/07 THIS SONG IS THE SHITE. I was late to fuking school the other morning. I told my teacher to fuke off becouse she got pised at me. But any way me and my best friend trafis think that it could be an all recerd song. American Idiot: Anthem for American Idiots | Reviewer: Jake | 5/21/07 If there is an anthem for the liberal stance in this nation, American Idiot is it. The song describes everything that the liberal media does and then points fingers at the conservatives. The paranoia and hysteria in this nation is caused by newscasters constantly reporting that we’re losing the war on terror. Green Day acts as if everywhere you turn the media is constantly praising the war, saying that we should do something crazy like defeat our enemies. In reality, the media is constantly praising the enemy, noting the religion of peace that isn't being practiced correctly by poor confused Islamic extremists, and then going into hysterics unless the people who aren’t practicing the religion of peace correctly are able to practice it “wrong” in detainment camps. The media reports defeat after defeat, even if there aren’t defeats to speak of. They say that we need to “win the war at home” before we go overseas, which is just the stance taken by those who oppose wars in all cases. The war at home, as it turns out, is being lost anyways, and it is all the liberals fault. 1.5 million babies are being aborted every year, while nearly a thousand troops are dying in Iraq each year. To liberals, one is cause for celebration and the other is cause for… celebration as well, because it becomes a statistic aimed at the republican party. The war on poverty is testimony to the pathetic policies of liberals. The only way to win the war on poverty is to create steady jobs for the poor, and the only way to do that is by investing in big businesses. I know, it would be horrible for yet another Wal-Mart to be opened, putting about fifty small business owners out of business. Yet, the hundreds of employees (perhaps even enough to man each register!) will benefit. The biggest issue in the nation today is the war on terrorism. Sadly, the most influential campaigners against it are high school drop outs in bands. The first verse of American Idiot lets you know what the rest of it will be. It immediately alerts you that this is a piece of propaganda… propaganda blaming other people for propaganda. It states: Don’t want to be an American idiot Don’t want a nation under the new mania And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mind f--- America! Anytime a liberal says the nation is under a new mania, you know what they really mean. What they really mean is that the nation is under the same old mania, but due to a spark of national patriotism, they must pretend that everyone is being brainwashed to love their country. Those bastards! How dare they love their country! This is America! You have the right to hate this country, and for the love of God you better use it! The sound of hysteria sounds a little like “Today 20 troops died in a roadside bombing” or “George Bush’s release documents were forged… using a program that would be created decades later” or maybe even “ A girl is starving herself to death for every day George Bush keeps us in Iraq. For the love of God, Bush, have some compassion!” That’s the hysteria. There is nothing pro-war/national defense about the hysteria. As for the subliminal mind performing sexual actions on America, I believe Green Day confused “subliminal mind” with Bill Clinton, and “America” with a white house intern. If the “subliminal mind” is f---cking America, then it is in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry endorses polygamy, abortion, pre-marital sex, drinking, substance abuse, and oral sex with white house interns. Even so, the subliminal mind can’t be f---cking anything. That wouldn’t be very sublime. Well maybe I’m the faggot America, I’m not part of a red neck agenda! Now everybody do the propaganda, And sing along to the age of paranoia The second verse is almost a confession… “Now everybody do the propaganda and sing along to the age of paranoia” certainly does describe the song itself but I don’t think that is what Green Day was aiming for. Now, really, who hasn’t randomly proclaimed “Well maybe I’m the faggot America, I’m not part of a red neck agenda?” It tells us who the enemies are! Those damned red necks! Of course Green Day is referring to President George Bush, Yale graduated, as a red neck. Meanwhile. I’m writing a song in which I will refer to Jesus Christ as a Buddhist. Yes, he does have a small articulation problem, but does that really put him in the class of incest-hungry trailer trash? Notice what I just did: I automatically assumed that all red necks engage in incest and live in trailers. How ignorantly liberal of me. “Well maybe I’m the faggot America” just restates the now stale accusation that republicans hate gay people and accuse their enemies of being gay. Contradistinctively, democrats love gays and black people… as they constantly use them as statistics for their own cause and patronize them to death. Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alienation Where everything isn't meant to be okay Television dreams of tomorrow We’re not the ones meant to follow And that’s enough to argue The chorus can actually be corrected with a few minor changes: Welcome to the new breed of tension As slutty starlets compete for honorable mention And everything is isn't meant to be okay Television feeds us the sorrow As well as the lies we’re meant to swallow And it’s never enough to argue The new kind of tension is: the media is afraid that America is too confident in itself and we’re going to loose every war we ever go into, and they are trying their best to set the national mood to be against the nation. That’s the same as the old kind of tension! The only thing new about it is that we’re in a new war! “Oh, this is nothing like Vietnam… this is Iraq. They’re two completely different countries… our reactions to the war might be the same, and we may have lost the war in Vietnam for America… but, this is totally different… totally different continents here…” Television is not dreaming of tomorrow. They absolutely love reporting on anything that will discredit a person that they do not like, i.e., a republican president. If it means 3,000 lives, then so be it. “The 9/11 attack… was totally George Bush’s fault… Bill Clinton had a chance to catch Osama… but… totally different decades here… hell, that was last millennium! How were we supposed to know this could happen? But Bush, yeah, he knew… he knew, man.” Saying that we’re not the ones meant to follow… doesn’t even make sense in the stupid context of the song. Even if conservatives were brainwashing us all to do crazy things like protect our country from future attacks, we’d still be the ones meant to follow. I cannot begin to comprehend what the high-school drop out, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, meant by this line. “And that’s enough to argue.” Well, good. So far we have: “Republicans are mean and they are using propaganda to spark hysteria and paranoia in the nation. And that’s enough to argue.” Wonderful. I’m convinced. As a matter of fact, I retract all of my previous statements. I love this argument! Oh, hold on. No, this isn't an argument. This is merely an accusation with no evidence. There might be evidence, but Green Day seems to be keeping it in a top secret folder, along with George Bush’s plans that caused Hurricane Katrina. You’ve got to hand it to Bush; he cleaned up the streets in New Orleans with his summoning of the hurricane. I wish the rest of us mere mortals could summon natural catastrophes. Don’t want to be an American Idiot One nation controlled by the media Information age of hysteria Calling out to Idiot America Amen. The first factual verse in this song. What a shame it’s not intentionally right. It’s as if this song was written about liberals, because writing about corruption never comes more natural than when you are blaming the actual people responsible, and then it was changed around to make it seem like it was about conservatives. Green Day has proven a point with this song, though: Liberals are in such deep denial that they must blame everything they are responsible for on other people. It’s like when the closeted gays are always accusing other people of being gay and making fun of them. Unfortunately, the minority of gay bashing homosexuals (now a protected minority!) aren’t brainwashing the millions of ignorant Americans for which entertainment is the only source of information… bands like Green Day are. American idiot | Reviewer: Axel | 5/14/07 hey, i love greenday, but i want to know why everybody compares them to panic at the disco and mcr. i mean, they are soooooooo different Not all of us are idiots, but a lot are | Reviewer: Charles Browne | 5/10/07 Not all of us Americans are idiots, but what he says about being controlled by the media and going down a destructive path are correct for a majority of us. (Incidentally, he theoretically could be talking about anyone from any nation in either North or South America. Unless I am in error [and correct me if I am], not once does he mention "USA" or "United States" or even "the States.")
