Lyrics Songtexte Song Text Musik Charts

Don’t want to be an American idiot.
Don’t want a nation under the new mania
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.

Yeah its still the same
Can’t you feel the pain
When the needle hits the vein
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
I’ve seen it once before
And oh it’s something else
Good god

Cool breeze come on in
Sunshine come on down
These are the tear drops of the clown
Circus is coming to town
All I’m saying is sometimes I’m more scared of myself
You better
Move
I said
Move

Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Run for your life
Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Here it comes
I said run
Alright

Yeah I’m on the run
See where I’m coming from
When you see me coming run
Before you see what I’m running from
No time for question asking time is passing by
Alright

You can’t win child
We’ve all tried to
You’ve been lied to
It’s all ready inside you
Either you run right now
Or you best get ready to die
You better
Move
I said
Move

Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Run for your life
Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Ooh
Here it comes
I Said run

Hurry little children
Run this way
I have got a beast at bay
La la la la la la la
La la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la l a
La la la la l a
Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Run for your life
Runaway
Runaway
Run children
Here it comes
Said run

Verse 1:

Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Don’t easily, the climax of the perfect lie.
Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Don’t easily, a smile worth a hundred lies.

If theres lessons to be learned, I’d rather get my jamming words in first so,
tell you something that I’ve found,
that the worlds a better place when its upside down boy.
If theres lessons to be learned,
I’d rather get my jamming words in first so,
when your playing with desire,
don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Chorus:

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh

Verse 2:
Blue, blue, blue waves they crash,
as time goes by,
so hard to catch.
Too, too smooth,
ain’t all that,
why don’t you ride on my side of the tracks.

If theres lessons to be learned,
I’d rather get my jamming words in first so,
I’ll tell you something that I’ve found,
that the worlds a better place when its upside down boy.
If theres lessons to be learned,
I’d rather get my jamming words in first so,
when your playing with desire,
don’t come running to my place when it burns like fire boy.

Chorus:
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
(fading out)
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yeahh
