American Idiot [That’s Not Cricket]

Lyrics

[Spoken Word Intro] Radio operator: Right now, you're listening to a radio station called Absolute Radio [Verse 1: Audience] Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation under the new mania And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mind**** 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 (England!) [Verse 2] Well, maybe I'm the faggot America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along to the age of paranoia [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 (Letsgo fucking crazy!) [Instrumental Break] [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 (Manchester!) [Spoken Word Outro] Billie: This is crazy ******* ****** up, and I'll tell ya that right now. That's the spirit. This song is dedicated to every single person that comes from a small ****** town. This song is called "Jesus of Suburbia"
