[Verse 1: Michael] 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
[Chorus: Luke] Welcome to a new kind of tension, all across the alien nation Where everything isn't meant to be okay Television's dream of tomorrow, we're not the ones you're meant to follow For that's enough to argue
[Verse 2: Michael] Well maybe I'm the faggot America I'm not a part of a red-neck agenda Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along to the age of paranoia
[Chorus: Calum]
[Bridge: All & Calum] Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation controlled by the media Information the age of hysteria It's going out to idiot America
