chorus
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 meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
verse
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
chorus
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 meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
bridge
Don't wanna be an American idiot (don't wanna be an American idiot)
One nation controlled by the media (one nation controlled by the media)
Don't wanna be an American idiot (don't wanna be an American idiot)
One nation controlled by the media (don't wanna be an American idiot)
Don't wanna be an American idiot (one nation controlled by the media)
One nation controlled by the media (don't wanna be an American idiot)
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America
chorus
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 meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
