American Idiot (Live) lyrics

[Intro: Michael, Calum, Ashton]
Does anybody know the band Green Day?
Not familiar
The next song we're—
Who's that?
The next song we're gonna play is a very, very, very fast cover of them
I'm sorry if I—
Don't judge my drumming, I suck at this song, let's go

[Verse 1: Michael]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
And sing along to the age of paranoia

[Chorus: Luke & Calum]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television's dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones you're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

[Verse 2: Michael, Michael & Calum]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
I'm not a part of a red-neck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
You looking at me?
[Chorus: All]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be okay
Television's dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones you're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: All, Calum, Michael]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America

[Chorus: All]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be okay
Television's dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones you're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
