Anyone else find this song extremely addicting? I'm a patriotic American, and yet I cannot get enough of this song!

Bascially, the song contains stereotypes ("I'm not a part of a redneck agenda") and few intelligent lyrics. And yet...wow...I love it!

Song called "American Idiot"
Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation that under the new media.
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.
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 want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age 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.

The lyrics to that song remind me how much the "Patriot" Act pisses me off...and how the US government just wants an excuse to make us paranoid so they can take away our personal freedoms.

Very catchy song. I love Green Day anyway!

PS, I want to go to the Vodoo Music Festival in New Orleans on Oct 16-17. Velvet Revolver, GD, Beastie Boys, The Pixies, and soooo many more bands are playing!!!

Tickets are a bit pricey but well worth it! All across the Alien nation....

It evokes thoughts of NOFX's "Franco-Unamerican" and "The Decline." Time to go dl it!

Oops, sorry. I thought this thread was about Bush.
