The American Idiots

Sorry to anyone who really likes this song...no offense!

"American Idiot"
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 mind**** 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.
Well 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 alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

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.
well that's enough to argue
Green Day


Lets ponder for a moment.
America:
1.Free religion
2. Free speech
3.Voting
4.Education required
5. money available
6.food available
7.everyone is elligble for a job (sp)
8. Democracy
9.justice system
10. Government who listens

Hmm...and thats only 10 reasons why America is so cool

now refering back to the song.......
I don't think that Green Day is a bad band (except for language) and i don't think that American Idiot is completely worthless**i like the melody**. But, i do think that the message isn't very good. We have soliders fighting out there to keep our country the way it is. And unless this song is talking about the moral standing in some of the people in our country who murder and assault others, then this song is terrible. It doesnt honor those who were great. People such as past presidents, inventors, writers, actors,and much more. So, in conclusion, I have a question. If those fine, upstanding people heard this song and read the lyrics, what would they think?

*Yeah, sweet guys*
