American Idiot (Demo)
[Verse 1]
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 mindfuck America
[Chorus]
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 who’re meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe I'm a faggot America
I'm not a part of the redneck agenda
So evеrybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
[Chorus]
Wеlcome 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 who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Don’t wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It’s calling out to idiot America
[Chorus]
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 who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
