American Idiot (Broadway) Lyrics by Green Day

American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording

2010

[GERARD]
Don't want to be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
[ANDREW]
Hey, can you hear the sound of hysteria?
[DECLAN]
The subliminal mind-fuck America
[ANDREW, DECLAN, GERARD, MIGUEL, & JOSH]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
[ANDREW, DECLAN, GERARD, MIGUEL, JOSH, CHASE, & BEN]
Television dreams of tomorrow
[ANDREW, DECLAN, GERARD, MIGUEL, JOSH, CHASE, BEN, & THEO]
We're not the ones meant to follow
[ANDREW, DECLAN, GERARD, MIGUEL, JOSH, CHASE, BEN, THEO & BRIAN]
For that's enough to argue
[BRIAN]
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
[BRIAN, BEN, & GERARD]
Now everybody, do the propaganda!
[BRIAN, BEN, GERARD, ANDREW, & JOSHUA]
And sing along to the age of paranoia
[ALL MEN]
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 meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
[MEN 1, MEN 2, WOMEN]
Don't want to be an
American idiot Don't want to be an
One nation American idiot
Controlled by the media One nation
Don't want to be an Controlled by the media
American idiot Don't want to be an
One nation American idiot Don't want to be an
Controlled by the media One nation American idiot
Don't want to be an Controlled by the media One nation
American idiot Don't want to be an Controlled by the media
One nation American idiot Don't want to be an
Controlled by the media One nation American idiot
Information Controlled by the media One nation
Age of hysteria Hysteria Controlled by hysteria
[JOHNNY, WILL, & TUNNY]
It's calling out to idiot America
[ALL]
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 meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
