1. Lyrics
"American Idiot"

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 mindfuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
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 in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
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 alienation.
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.

4. Actually, almost all of their new album is anti-dubya.
Jesus of Suburbia is one of the songs. Wake me Up When September Ends. So on and so forth... it is a pretty good album.

6. American Idiot is one of the greatest albums this year
i was blown away by how much they have grown musically.

if you don't have this album please buy it, it is a "rock opera" or concept album so i belief it is best understood/appreciated if you have the entire peice. best rock and roll record this year. thank you green day.

7. LOL Case in point: delusional Bush supporters
Ok, he's only 11, but one of my son's friends was thrilled that Bush won, and incredulous that we weren't happy about it. He also carries on and on about how much he likes this song!!!! I don't know, I just find it ironic, but also indicative of how many adults think (or don't think). Would it be cruel of me to burst his little misguided bubble? Well, he probably only likes it because it has the "f" word in it...
