American Idiot

[IronLionZion]

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.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Convincing them to walk you.

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 alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Convincing them to walk you.

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

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Convincing them to walk you.

--Green Day
I just came back from the greatest show I have ever seen! This is the first song they played, and said that it means a lot more now than it did 5 days ago! Kick ass! Fight the redneck agenda!

1. what a great album!

i have been so impressed with their progression. they have taken their sound to a totally new place. i enjoyed their earlier stuff ok, but this album is just awesome, all the way through, i always have to start it from the beginning. i am very proud of greenday.

2. hell yeah!

Progressive minded people always produce far superior creative works. Sure we face an uphill battle, but we got to fight for what's right. We are rebels in our own country.

3. I'm listening to it now. "Jesus of Suburbia" speaks to me the most.

I also like "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Wake Me Up When September Comes."

Eminem's MOSH seems like a dream already. We came. We voted. We were snookered. And our leader conceded, so we lost our focus.

4. Heard that :)

On the radio no less:) Guess the time of healing will take a little longer ( give or take 40 or so years hehe :) )
Dled it soon as it got home
Man now all i can think about is my gf's brother (18) and a true repuke. He likes rap and rock and I'm thinking man hes going to be running out of things to listen to mighty soon lol, guess he can fall back on Jingoist Kieth.

Going to get this shirt :) they got some bad ones but man this one suits the redneck's :)

5. It pains me to say this

as I despised "Dookie" when I was younger (more of a purist punk fan... OK snob I guess :) But that song hits it right on. Might need to check out that album.

7. i understand

im a big dead kennedys fan, and i despise pretty much every modern punk band...but for some reason, greenday has never bothered me

6. Republicans will outlaw gays, but legalize pig fucking

It's Rick Santorum's redneck dream. and he's up for re-election in two years. Let's work NOW to defeat him and other assclowns in the midterm elections.

10. I saw it for the first time on MTV.

At two in the morning. :shrug:

In the mean time on MTV - it's "ho's" and "bitches" all afternoon.

11. Don't watch MTV

I gave up on them years ago. It seems younger, dumber people are their target audience. That's who advertisers want to reach. and I'm only 21! :P
