Song lyrics
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation that doubt 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 alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Maybe I am 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
Everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Calling out to idiot America

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

Don't you understand it's the song about YOU. You don't use Caps, write stupid words like "luv" and "omg" and use a lot of freakin smileys. Do you like to be called idiots or what?
(I'm neither American nor idiot)

Compared to previous Green Day creations thjis song absolutely stinks. It has shitty lyrics (no rhymes at all, that's probably why they don't want it get posted - aside from their stupidness), guitars taken straight from "Walking Contradiction", this song is a live proof that Green Day are past their prime.
(note that I liked all previous albums by Green Day, but I feel that their newest one gonna suck a big ass)
