American Idiot Lyrics
Lyrics

Title
- Don't want to be an American idiot.
- Don't want a nation under the new media
- And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
- The subliminal mind fuck 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.
- Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
- I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
- Now everybody do the propaganda.
- And sing along to the age of paranoia.
- 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.
- Don't want to be an American idiot.
- One nation controlled by the media.
- Information age of hysteria.
- It's calling 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.

- Say, hey!
- Hear the sound of the falling rain
- Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
- The shame
- The ones who died without a name
- Hear the dogs howling out of key
- To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
- And bleed, the company lost the war today
- I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
- This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
- On holiday
- Hear the drum pounding out of time
- Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
- To find, the money's on the other side
- Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
- There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
- A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
- I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
- This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
- On holiday
- (Hey!)
- (Say, hey!)
- (3,4)
- Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
- Bombs away is your punishment
- Pulverize the Eiffel towers
- Who criticize your government
- Bang bang goes the broken glass and
- Kill all the fags that don't agree
- Trials by fire, setting fire
- Is not a way that's meant for me
- Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
- I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
- This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
- I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
- This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
- This is our lives on holiday
- [Thanks to Chris for correcting these lyrics]
- I walk a lonely road
- The only one that I have ever known
- Don't know where it goes
- But it's home to me and I walk alone
- I walk this empty street
- On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
- Where the city sleeps
- and I'm the only one and I walk alone
- I walk alone
- I walk alone
- I walk alone
- I walk a...
- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
- My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
- Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
- 'Til then I walk alone
- Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
- Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
- I'm walking down the line
- That divides me somewhere in my mind
- On the border line
- Of the edge and where I walk alone
- Read between the lines
- What's fucked up and everything's alright
- Check my vital signs
- To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
- I walk alone
- I walk alone
- I walk alone
- I walk a...
- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
- My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
- Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
- 'Til then I walk alone
- Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
- Ah-ah, Ah-ah
- I walk alone
- I walk a...
- I walk this empty street
- On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
- Where the city sleeps
- And I'm the only one and I walk a...
- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
- My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
- Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
- 'Til then I walk alone...
- Starry nights city lights coming down over me
- Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
- This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
- Lost and found city bound in my dreams
- And screaming
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
- And screaming
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
- Forget me nots and second thoughts live in isolation
- Heads or tails and fairytales in my mind
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
- The rage and love, the story of my life
- The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
- And screaming
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
- And screaming
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
- And screaming
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
- Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
- St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
- Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
- Light of a silhouette
- He's insubordinate
- Coming at you on the count of 1,2,1,2,3,4!
- My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
- Suicide commando that your momma talked about
- King of the forty thieves
- And I'm here to represent
- The needle in the vein of the establishment
- I'm the patron saint of the denial
- With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
- Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
- I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
- Raised in the city under a halo of lights
- The product of war and fear that we've been victimized
- I'm the patron saint of the denial
- With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
- ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?
- I'll give you something to cry about.
- ST. JIMMY!
- My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
- I'm the one that's from the way outside
- I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun
- In the cult of the life of crime.
- I really hate to say it but I told you so
- So shut your mouth before I shoot you down ol' boy
- Welcome to the club and give me some blood
- And the resident leader at the lost and found
- It's comedy and tragedy
- It's St. Jimmy
- And that's my nameeeeeee... and don't wear it out!

- Take away the sensation inside
- Bitter sweet migraine in my head
- Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
- I can't take this feeling anymore
- Drain the pressure from the swelling,
- This sensations overwhelming,
- Give me a long kiss goodnight
- and everything will be alright
- Tell me that I won't feel a thing
- So give me Novacaine
- Out of body and out of mind
- Kiss the demons out of my dreams
- I get the funny feeling, that’s alright
- Jimmy says it's better than here,
- I’ll tell you what
- Drain the pressure from the swelling,
- This sensations overwhelming,
- Give me a long kiss goodnight
- and everything will be alright
- Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
- So give me Novacaine
- Oh Novacaine
- Drain the pressure from the swelling,
- This sensations overwhelming
- Give me a long kiss goodnight
- and everything will be alright
- Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing,
- So give me Novacaine

- She's a rebel
- She's a saint
- She's salt of the earth
- And she's dangerous
- She's a rebel
- Vigilante
- Missing link on the brink
- Of destruction
- From Chicago to Toronto
- She's the one that they
- Call old whatsername
- She's the symbol
- of resistance
- and she's holding on my
- heart like a hand grenade
- Is she dreaming
- what I'm thinking
- Is she the mother of all bombs
- gonna detonate
- Is she trouble
- like I'm trouble
- make it a double
- twist of fate
- or a melody that
- She sings the revolution
- the dawning of our lives
- she brings this liberation
- that I just can't define
- nothing comes to mind
- [x2]
- She's a rebel
- She's a saint
- She's salt of the earth
- And she's dangerous
- She's a rebel
- Vigilante
- Missing link on the brink
- Of destruction
- She's a rebel
- She's a saint
- She's salt of the earth
- And she's dangerous
- She's a rebel
- Vigilante
- Missing link on the brink
- Of destruction
- She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous
- [x2]
- She's an Extraordinary girl
- In an ordinary world
- And she cant seem to get away
- He lacks the courage in his mind
- Like a child left behind
- Like a pet left in the rain
- She's all alone again
- Wiping the tears from her eyes
- Some days he feels like dying
- She gets so sick of crying
- She sees the mirror of herself
- An image she wants to sell
- To anyone willing to buy
- He steals the image in her kiss
- From her hearts apocalypse
- From the one called whatsername
- She's all alone again
- Wiping the tears from her eyes
- Some days he feels like dying
- She gets so sick of crying
- She's all alone again
- Wiping the tears from her eyes
- Some days he feels like dying
- Some days it's not worth trying
- Now that they both are finding
- She gets so sick of crying
- She's an Extraordinary girl
- an Extraordinary girl
- an Extraordinary girl
- an Extraordinary girl
- Nobody likes you...
- Everyone left you...
- They're all out without you...
- Having fun...
- Where have all the bastards gone?
- The underbelly stacks up ten high
- The dummy failed the crash test
- Collecting unemployment checks
- Like a flunkie along for the ride
- Where have all the riots gone
- As the city's motto gets pulverized?
- What's in love is now in debt
- On your birth certificate
- So strike the fucking match to light this fuse!
- The town bishop is an extortionist
- And he don't even know that you exist
- Standing still when it's do or die
- You better run for your fucking life
- It's not over 'till you're underground
- It's not over before it's too late
- This city's burnin'
- It's not my burden
- It's not over before it's too late
- There's nothing left to analyze
- Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
- And where will we all go when it's too late?
- And don't look back
- You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
- The St. Jimmy is a figment of
- Your father's rage and your mother's love
- Made me the idiot America
- It's not over 'till you're underground
- It's not over before it's too late
- This city's burnin'
- It's not my burden
- It's not over before it's too late
- She said I can't take this place
- I'm leaving it behind
- Well she said I can't take this town
- I'm leaving you tonight
- Summer has come and passed
- The innocent can never last
- wake me up when september ends
- like my fathers come to pass
- seven years has gone so fast
- wake me up when september ends
- here comes the rain again
- falling from the stars
- drenched in my pain again
- becoming who we are
- as my memory rests
- but never forgets what I lost
- wake me up when september ends
- summer has come and passed
- the innocent can never last
- wake me up when september ends
- ring out the bells again
- like we did when spring began
- wake me up when september ends
- here comes the rain again
- falling from the stars
- drenched in my pain again
- becoming who we are
- as my memory rests
- but never forgets what I lost
- wake me up when september ends
- Summer has come and passed
- The innocent can never last
- wake me up when september ends
- like my father's come to pass
- twenty years has gone so fast
- wake me up when september ends
- wake me up when september ends
- wake me up when september ends
