[Intro]
B-d-d-d-d-dum dum dum
Doom-du-dum du-du-dum
B-d-d-d-d-dum dum dum
Doom-du-dum du-du-dum
B-d-d-d-d-dum dum dum
Doom-du-dum du-du-dum
OOH!
[Verse 1]
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling, I can't seem
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Well, come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, "Boy, let's not talk too much"
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Well, come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead, mm
[Chorus]
Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Flamingo, oh, oh, oh
If you're multicolored, that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo, oh, oh, oh
You're pretty either way
[Refrain]
If ya smell what The Rock is cookin'
[Verse 2]
It's about drive, it's about power, we stay hungry, we devour
Put in the work, put in the hours and take what's ours
Black and Samoan in my veins, my culture bangin' with Strange
I change the game so what's my motherfuckin' name? (Rock)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waitin' on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breakin'
[Chorus]
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
These five words in my head
These five words in my head
Calling out to Idiot America (Scream, "Are we havin' fun yet?")
[Post-Chorus]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign (Are we havin' fun yet)
Don't wanna be an American idiot (Yet, yet)
Are we havin' fun yet (One, two, three, uh!)
[Verse 3]
Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence?
One step from lashing out at you
You want in to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you, what do I do? (Hey)
Raindrop (Drip), drop-top (Drop-top)
Smokin' on cookie in the hotbox (Cookie)
Fuckin' on your bitch, she a thot, thot (Thot)
Cookin' up dope in the crockpot (Pot)
[Pre-Chorus]
We came from nothin' to somethin'
I don't trust nobody, grip the trigger (Nobody)
Call up the gang and they come and get ya (Gang)
Cry me a river, give you a tissue
[Chorus]
Uptown girl (Uptown girl)
You know I've seen her in her uptown world (Uptown world)
She's getting tired of her high class toys (High class toys
And all the presents from her uptown boys (Uptown boys)
She's got a choice
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Daytrip took it to ten, hey)
[Verse 4]
How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable
So condescending, unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step, 'cause if I do, you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
The double vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay, but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to fuckin' tread the ground that I am walking on
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone wild, bam-ba-lam
Said, "It weren't none of mine," bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone blind, bam-ba-lam
I said, oh, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
[Chorus]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power
'Til then, fuck that, the world's ours
[Refrain]
Ahh
Hey, ahh
Hey, ahh
Hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 5]
Made this here with all the ice on in the booth
At the gate outside, when they pull up, they get me loose
Yeah, Jump Out boys, that's Nike boys, hoppin' out coupes
(21st-century schizoid man)
[Chorus]
Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
[Bridge]
Ho-ho-ho-ohh
Oh no
What the fuck?!
Imma pretend
Imma pretend that I didn't just hear that
What the fuck is this?
Ahh, why would you do that?
Heaven is really far away from this shit
[Pre-Chorus]
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?
[Chorus]
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye
[Outro]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Are we havin' fun yet
Don't wanna be an American idiot
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
Don't wanna be an American idiot
I walk alone, I walk a—
