Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation that doesn't know 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.
Everything isn't meant 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 in the age of paranoia.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/green_day/american_idiot.html ]
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.
Okay, if that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information nation of hysteria.
It's calling 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.
For that's enough to argue.

My favorite quote: people are effing idiots! Hello, american idiot, kinda fits that... Perfectly. Media sucks, and look at stupid things like the commercial for the wave. They expect us to run out and buy it because vanessa hudgens supposedly uses it, and we do! Are people really stupid enough to believe that she uses it? She's getting paid people! Look at how every single one of miley cyrus concerts is always full. (btw, she really sucks) it's because everyone has made her seem completely perfect, and that she can do no wrong, and this is the stupidest, greediest country, because all anyone cares about is having money, and having people know who they are. Most people get some strange joy out of having random people know their name. Me? It creeps me out. (have you ever had someone you don't know come up and say "hi! (insert your name here) what's up? " it is just weird! This song describes this perfectly. What is the enjoyment out of being famous? Not having the freedom to walk out of your own house without being bombarded by people who just want their fifteen minutes of fame? What kind of life is that? Sorry about my little rant, i get carried away easily.

I totally agree with rock-goddess. The song is about beeing you, and not beeing affected by the media. And face it, x--ebony: you could never rule over america. And not to be bitchy, but america is kind of an idiotic country. I am glad i don't live there! Ok, they might be one of the most powerfull countries in the world, but the president is an idiot. I'm sorry, but i'm glad we have a king instead of a president. If you're wondring: yes, i'm not an america-fan. And i honestly think norway is the place to live...

Hell i live in america and still hate the shit out of it!!! America has been taken over by the media.people here practically depend on the media. I hate the media.they make up shit about celebrities that isnt fucking true.we practically cant even be labeled free. We have no fucking freedom. We have all of these damn laws and rules we have to memorize and if we dont we will end up in jail.one way or another. I could be rong it could be worse!! But im not going there!! =)

It clearly states that america is controlled by the media, and the people only know what the media wants them to know.

This song freely expresses how americans needto be more independent. They are like marys little lost sheep over there. I have done good with sounding proffesional, but rock on greenday.

These green day songs show once again that many people have figured out how to make a name for themselves and a living by ripping the country that has given them everything. These so called musicians have 'created' a product that fits the template of the left wing media who are always more than happy to sell it for them when it agrees with their agenda. When was the last time you heard anything in the media - movies or songs - that spoke about the beauty or how america gives to the world's needy, etc, etc, etc? And these twenty somethings can write about some distorted view of this country and make a living while doing it here in america? Can there be any doubt that the american idiots are green day?

Cool song, about how much media controls people mind. This song reminds us not to trust what media says completely, and be more critical...

Schmuk: i actually thank you for your entertainment. People like you are the ones who are ruining this nation!! Ignorance is not a good thing. You would do the world good if you knew that. Learn up! :) and if you actually pay attention to reliable news sources like fox, or the nra, you would realize what our current president is doing to this nation. It's actually kind of sad to see people trying to insult the greatest nation on earth. We have freedom, liberty, and justice, and we enjoy every moment of it! For all you other nations out there, we hope you'll join us one day, and make it a better place. :) oh, and schmuk: i find it interesting that you call me the idiot when you can't spell "amerucan" right. A-m-e-r-i-c-a-n :)

This song is about how green day used to play cover songs by the band america... Yep, they used to play coffee shops in berkley ca. They were a bunch of well... Trendy fags, still are and getting paid big for it too. These guys need to move to canada and stay there.

So in a nutshell this song is about how selfish people like to cater the world to their lifestyle, 'because they know whats going on man'... 'they know everything', 'bro' and they are 'hip'
and if you have an accent you are evil...
