Lyrics:
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-fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
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

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

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
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

Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
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

20 years and I'm back here listening to this to cope with the stress of today (election day in the US). Thanks for being there all this time, Greenday.

[superfuntime]

Perfect song, perfect clip for this day, 20 years later, nothing changes

[wacleford]

I remember getting this album when I was 10 and my mum wouldn't let me get the uncensored version. The guy at the music shop saw how much I wanted the uncensored version swapped the discs and when I got home I realised and only listened with headphones. What a legend.

[PsychoFoxy]

Welcome back, America. This song is needed again and again.

[leokimvideo]

A Green Day song that just gets better with age. Thats quite common with this band. Songs that stand the test of time.

[emdashr]

Song of the day... and the next 4 years. Good luck, America.

[Elfin_Grove]

I cant believe we're all back here again, good luck everyone, we'll need it

[MaxHohenstaufen]

Don't know why, but I was just watching the debate between Trump and Biden the other day and this song popped out on my head and it hasn't left ever since.

[Nelsonhojax]

Little did anyone know that when this song came out in 2004, it was heralding the modern American life. I mean, the lyrics were important then, but its insane how well they've stood the test of time and become more and more resonant in the past 17 years. A new kind of tension, the age of paranoia, do the propaganda, etc. Era defining music right here

[susanacabrera]

To those saying this song is relevant now.... it’s been relevant since before it was written

[AuroraRae]

This is pretty much the vibe now ngl 🤬 I can't believe we're back in this

[pixelmaster]

i think we can all agree that this should be played right now all over the nation

edit: ok guys maybe we should stop
edit edit: election time, blast it on full volume again

[claireabrams]

RIP Ms. Loythan,
the best 8th grade hitory teacher who loved this song. Thank you for everything!

[fizzyritz]

Suddenly this song hits different now and days

[MrBen]

Funny how this song sold more copies in the United Kingdom than the USA.

[andrewvoong]

Billy Joe Armstrong is the 2nd oldest teenager I know. The oldest is tony hawk

[nathanhosea]

In choosing between two idiots, America has somehow chosen the bigger one. Congrats!

[adelia-nsb]

Half the country needs to take two seconds and use their brain while listening to this song istfg dude😭

[File_JExe]

Nice to see this song is still causing controversy 20 years later

[gamerblox]

Censoring green day songs is like playing gta and not commiting any crime
