American idiot

American IdiotVerse 1Screen glows bright in the dead of night.We swallow the static and lose the fight.Preacher on TV is selling us fear.Nobody listens but everyone hears.ChorusDon't want to be an American idiot.Drowning in a sea of immediate.Information overload, losing our minds.Leaving all the critical thinking behind.Yeah, we’re running out of time.Verse 2Double-tap culture, we live for the trend.Chasing a profile we call a friend.Algorithms dictate the things that we buy.Nobody stops to ask the question why.ChorusDon't want to be an American idiot.Drowning in a sea of immediate.Information overload, losing our minds.Leaving all the critical thinking behind.Yeah, we’re running out of time.BridgeWake up, open your eyes.Break through the corporate lies.We are more than the screens we hold.We are more than the stories told.Guitar SoloChorusDon't want to be an American idiot.Drowning in a sea of immediate.Information overload, losing our minds.Leaving all the critical thinking behind.Yeah, we’re running out of time.OutroPut down the phone.You're not alone.Don't be an idiot.Don't be an idiot.Just wake up.
