[Intro] Alright [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 Alright [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 the faggot America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda Now evеrybody do the propaganda And sing along to the age of paranoia Alright [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, oh [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey Alright, [?] Deutschland Are you ready? I want you to sing to loud that everybody hears you all around the fuckin' world, alright?
