So I was listening to Greenday at the gym today and thought I’d post their lyrics. I’ve seen them in concert in Vancouver recently, and thoroughly enjoy their new album, as it reflects my views of the war in Iraq. I thought it was slightly appropriate considering Bush’s fantastic speech over the holidays. (The word “fantastic” meaning crap). So, if you agree with them, read on, but if you don’t, you might want to skip today’s entry. *Also, I’d apply the term “America” to North America”*

Green Day
American Idiot
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck 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.
Convincing them to walk you.

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.
Convincing them to walk you.

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.
Convincing them to walk you.
