Lirik Lagu American Idiot dari Green Day, Ungkap Pesan kepada Warga Agar Tidak Dibodohi Media

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

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!
Alright, England!
I sing "Eh-oh"
Let's sing "Eh-oh", "eh-oh"
C'mon!
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!
Alright!
Are you guys ready to sing along?
I want to you sing so loud!
That every fucking Redneck in America
Hears you tonight alright!

Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Go!

It's going 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
C'mon!***
