American Idiot Lyrics
Artist(Band):Green Day
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 fuck 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.
Well that's enough to argue.
Well maybe I'm the fagot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.
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.
Well then that's enough to argue.
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information nation of hysteria.
It's going out to idiot America.
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.
Well that's enough to argue.

Review about American Idiot
An european answer to reviewer Joe | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/29/09
Can't believe my eyes what Joe wrote in his review: for him it's okay to learn history from movies and he believes USA join WWII to help Europe. What about Pearl Harbour and the nazis plans to invade USA after Europe was occupied ??!!.... "The USA has been good to its foreign neighbors"- hey Joe are you an employee of the Ministry of foreign affairs??!!
This song is about this kind of people, not about all the americans . All nations have their own rednecks like Joe. About them is this funny song.
"dream and differ" | Reviewer: Booster | 6/22/09
Folks. The term "selling out" is highly arbitrary here. People forming a band are also citizens of America, they didn't fall off of the moon. If a period of hatred towards the government started in the society, than you must accept the fact that artist will get touched with it too, and thus may want to speak out. It's not as if there is a trend to write political songs - how many bands have their songs themed with that even? Relax and simply listen... Or go swimming or toss the cabbage or whatever.
And as a comment to the gay who said that there was a "Fuck America" trend in the 2000s... WELCOME BACK FROM THE ICE AGE! The "trend" is still here! And it's getting worse. Better do something about that, America. Your dream is becoming more dreamy...
...and I beg to dream and differ...
*likes the song*
great | Reviewer: lissa | 6/18/09
Thi song is great. I love. Sure, it's not as good as their glory days (dookie and warning) but it's still pretty awesome.
I hate that just because they made a statement about goverment at a time when everyone was starting to hate the goverment, they've become "sell outs."
and as for "This is selling-out at it's worse." I think Kiss is doing much worse right now. Releasing their new album as a wal mart exclusive? Especially after wal-mart just refused to sell Green Day's new album becuase Green Day wouldn't censor it, it the worst thing they could do, next to becoming rappers,
btw, green day rocks even more for refusing to censor their album!
Like the song, waiting for the next one | Reviewer: scott | 6/8/09
The song is pretty legit. If the band didn't like where the nation was heading to before with Bush, I am hoping that they are not brainwashed like the rest of the media and can write an equally critical song of how horrible of a job that the Obama administration is doing. I'm excited to see if the band is unbiased and can see corruption regardless of what extreme party stance it comes from, or if they much like the rest of the entertainment industry and only pushing one message.
shut up greenday rules | Reviewer: lou | 5/18/09
if you dont like greendays songs dont bother posting comments or looking at word just let all the fans (Like myself .. big fan!!)enjoy their music because i think it awsome i lovvee trecool ,i lovvee billie joe and i lovvee mike!!!
Great song!!! | Reviewer: Bob | 5/10/09
I'm glad artist came out with music like this. Eminem did it with "mosh" and Green Day with this song. Nobody liked the what this country was turning into because of George Bush. I'm glad he is gone. Great song, i loved it.
girls love too | Reviewer: Sabrina | 4/28/09
Some people think this song sucks! But me and my family love it! It may not be punk, but that doesn't mean you should dislike it. I'm American and don't think that people should go around dissing people because of this song, but it it sounds cool, and it is funny, so I think Green Day is an awesome band, and it always will be to me.
This song sucks. | Reviewer: Steve | 4/15/09
This song is terrible.
It was only popular with the mainstream audiences because it latched onto the "Fuck America" bandwagon, which was extremely popular in the early 2000's.
Green Day caught onto this, and thought "Hey, let's make a song that fits in with what society loves so much so that we can make millions of dollars!" and so they made a "Fuck America" song, and we all know everyone, even Americans, love "Fuck America".
This isn't punk. This is selling-out at it's worse. Only little pre-teens that act like rebels but still cry home to their mummies and play on the basketball team and shit think this song is real punk.
R.I.P Green Day.
My point | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/17/09
I like this song.. but I think it should not be seen as restricted to America and Americans only. I think almost everyone who lives in a country where people believe in everything they hear from the media can relate to this song and like it. No need to insult Americans and say they are dumb because the same problems could exist in any country
Idiot... says who? | Reviewer: Joe | 3/11/09
While I agree anyone who would listen to the media and believe what they're trying to sell is an idiot, I disagree that all Americans are idiots. Everyone hates America, but at the same time everyone wants her wealth and technology. Its kind of a love-hate relationship between America and foreign powers. I noticed must of the responses that are posted here contain alot of misspellings and alot of ebonics type spelling. Looks to me like you're the ones who are the idiots. And if it were not for all of the US of A idiots; all of Europe would be speaking either German or Russian. You remember don't you, ww1 and ww2 when all those idiot Americans shed their blood on foreign soil so you could be free from Nazi's and Communist. Well the next time some dictator decides to invade your country I hope the USA doesn't get involved and you get your asses kicked. I personaly wouldn't piss on any of you if you were on fire. The USA has been good to its foreign neighbors and dont deserve to be slammed and made fun of. Just because you have a bad leader doesn't make the whole country bad, and if you don't like the USA the get the hell out of my country. I happen to love her. And for all you limp dick foreigners who hate the USA... you can kiss my FREE American ass.
