American Idiot (Live at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, Japan, 3/19/05)

Lyrics

[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 mind-fuck 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, Tokyo [Verse 2] Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda, alright Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along to the age of paranoia, 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, come on [Guitar Solo] [Interlude] Alright Tokyo, are you ready? I say hey-oh, come on (Hey-oh) I say hey-oh (Hey-oh) I say hey-oh (Hey-oh) Are you ready Tokyo? [Bridge: Billie Joe Armstrong] Don't wanna be an American idiot One nation controlled by the media Information age of hys—, go (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, come on [Outro] Arigato, Tokyo This next song's called "Jesus of Suburbia"
