Green Day - American Idiot Lyrics

[angelbrownie100]

this song makes fun of the way that music and medie mindfuck us and controll us

[StMatthew15]

I'm american and proud to be and if you are to search taking back our country and texas cwl radio ad

[EndouxHirotoForevea]

ioioiohjiohoi trust me... in our economy now you'd better be glad your NOT American and be entertained while we last...

[NONNAME152]

May we please play this during election week, cause seriously we need a new Government not based on money but good of the COMMON GOOD!

[DaBEASTXXXXX]

the only american idiot is obama

[Tsuaja]

@DaBEASTXXXXX You are so fricking right

[beckie5001]

@DaBEASTXXXXX and anyone who pisses and moans about not liking the way things are but not tryinging. im doing it, why can t you.?

[Theyovillepimps]

Im an American and this song is true!!!!!

[Pent5HT]

they have a point about how america is lol. has truth to it haha.

[exsamdan]

To those who think this is America bashing, you're not looking deep enough. I think the true target is the sensationalist media, those who control it (and their motives), and those who buy into it. Sadly, the media has turned war, genocide, poverty, murder, natural disasters, famine, etc., into entertainment and scare tactics- all in the pursuit of profit and power. This is not purely American (see EVERY country in the world). I think this song is simply stating that he isn't buying the BS.

[mandote10]

They call american idiot before it was cool

[xXxsnickerz]

i'm an american and part of a redneck agenda. I love this song. :D

[DestanyDestroyer]

PEOPLE! JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC OR GTFO SOMEWHERE! >_<

[Usagi14Bunny]

I love how this is mostly Popular in America..... <3 XD

[itsjustBEAR]

will everyone just shut the fuck up about the government and shit? its a song. a damn good one at the that so just give green day the respect and just listen instead of bitching

[GI2EEND4Y]

I'd rather be an American Idiot than the 328 pricks that disliked this video.

[sweetheart2837]

y russians......... i love America but i dont plan on stayin here my whole life.. there are, im my opinion, places that r way better than here.

[thecocoabeans1]

@sweetheart2837 like where? Soviet canuckistan? The axis of weasels? The axis of evil? Beyond the axis of evil? Outposts of Tyranny?

[5mouses]

i support this song and i'm an american

[lolli298]

Just saw the musical of this it was fucking amazing!

[adamisajoker]

I like how people say America used to be great. WRONG! it's always be an imperialist and evil nation.

[attilawillliveon]

@adamisajoker dude ur stupid to say "always be an imperialist and evil nation" the only thing evil is the politicians, and plus half the world hates on america because were the powerhouses.

[adamisajoker]

@attilawillliveon Half the world hates America because we try to police the world and have army bases in all their countries. Not all the people of the US are technically "evil", but most of them are pretty arrogant when it comes to their own nation and ignorant when it comes to the rest of the world. And America became such a powerhouse because it would steal the resources of third world nations whenever it set up a military base there, and the US usually sells arms to everyone.

[thecocoabeans1]

@adamisajoker Ron Paul is a commie don't listen to him!

[thecocoabeans1]

@adamisajoker Imperialism is not a bad thing! Spreading freedom through imperialism is a good thing!

[adamisajoker]

@thecocoabeans1 You better be trolling. If not you are a brainwashed waste of life.

[Zombieplan101]

Do you Have the Time?Well Maybe I'm the Faggot America.And I'm not Part of a redneck agenda.So welcome to a kind of tension.And im wondering who is your enemy?Can You Bite my Lip and Close my eyes?If you can then Welcome To Paradise.So Welcome To Paradise, Im hitchin a Ride. She's a rebel, My name is St.Jimmy and Im son of a gun.And The Jesus Of Suburbia.My Girl is Whatsername.I'm also a Insomniac.Have You Heard of 21st Century Breakdown?Well Viva La Gloria and Christain Is in it.And The Extrad

[richardhugger12]

Isn't this band american

[On1x95]

This song is for George Bush :P



[spaceninja199]

@On1x95 and obama

[trevintavares122]

Everyone just shut the fuck up about Hating America blah blah blah and listen to the fucking music.

[MegaThepunisher911]

@trevintavares122 _|_ America 

[mynameishowardsmith]

@trevintavares122 but that's sort of the message in the song...

[SFCANK1981]

[zombieslayer2525]

323 ppl are american idiots

[MrOraas]

America is a continent dude :p but i can se how ; i dont want to be an United States of America idiot; does not ryme as well..

[UltraMarioGalaxy]

[UltraMarioGalaxy]

THIS IS THE SONG OF SOPA AND PIPA

[trevintavares122]

And you all hate Americans why? have you guys even been to America sure some people here can be complete dicks but hate us all now that's just kind of being an ass yourself. I like this song even though i am a American just don't get why people have to be so shallow i mean not like i go around saying. "I hate french people" or "I hate European's".

[trebbleJ100]

you guys always have to be right dont you

if i said i had a house with 3 bedrooms then you would say you had 1 with 4 bedrooms

if i said i had a car with 4 seats you would say you had 1 with 6 seats

americans are dicks (my dads words not mine, i just like greenday)

[ioioiohjiohoi]

As an Australian, I find this America bashing quite entertaining... :L

[dchris1990]

@ioioiohjiohoi I am American and I find this Australian bashing quite entertaining :P

[FroggyFilmWorks]

@ioioiohjiohoi stupid socialist pricks running our country, if obama wins the next election I'm gona kill the little bitch

[IjhcoldnoseCp]

@ioioiohjiohoi I'm American, and I enjoy it =P ...

[Gailoftheblackroable]

I dedicate this song to all the SOPA bill supporters x)

[noxus2oxide]

Canada's Better!...Just had to throw that out there

[JamesSCassidy]

Another problem is you people don't really hate America. You say Americans are asshole, well so are the French. I know I have been to France. You say you hate the government. Fair enough, but name a better government...there is none. They are all corrupted. And honestly, how can you hate the freedom America provides? Free speech, right to protest. Couldn't do this in Russia or China. The people who complain that America sucks ARE the American idiots because you bow down to conformity.

[leprecon0]

@JamesSCassidy free speech?! have you even heard of SOPA,PIPI,ACTA? and people hate the government not only because they're corrupt but they're retards, and american is supposed to be the most powerful nation in the world. I agree that america gives its people the right to protest, but have you seen what they do to the protesters? I know it happens everywhere but in a country as prolific as america they should know better, I know 3rd world countries that are more humane than most other countries

[LoveStoriesInc]

@leprecon0 THANK YOU!!!!

[walterscraziestfun]

@JamesSCassidy WHAT????????Are you leaving in a different America?Is it a better version or what?!Free speech and right to protest?How can you believe that we love the freedom America provides??There's no such thing as freedom over there.Your goverments only try their best to turn you into the most uneducated creatures of this world and the worst part is that not only you have no point of view,knowledge or any kind of ideology about....about life,about anything,but you think you know everything!

[LoveStoriesInc]

@walterscraziestfun I'm American. I'm a teenager. I'm beating the system by seeing it, too. They want us to be stupid so we can't fight back.

[walterscraziestfun]

@LoveStoriesInc I know my friend,I know....Same thing here,same thing everywhere.I think we must wake up...:/

[LoveStoriesInc]

@walterscraziestfun How are there still patriotic people here when there's no reason to like America anymore?

[attilawillliveon]

@walterscraziestfun lol dude just hop up off the rest of the worlds dick and get some thoughts of ur own bro u dont know how many time i see people saying the exact same thing about america all the time so to all u foreign fucks dont be a xerox machine and think by yourself

[walterscraziestfun]

@attilawillliveon Damn!I said,I know that every goverment is corrupted,I know it!!!And I would never say that France or Germany or Italy,for example,or any other European country is a better place 'cause nowhere is nice nowadays.What just really pisses me off,though,is how you,American people refuse to see the truth about your goverment and don't admit a thing!All of us,the ones who say things like that about America,don't have a problem with you,people,we don't hate you,but your politicians!!!

[walterscraziestfun]

@JamesSCassidy And so the only opinion you can express is one which is not really yours...it's their opinion!!!!!It's what they want you to believe!!!!!!No one can really protest there...I've been there and I 've seen what can happen to the protestors....And yes,you are right,all goverments are corrupted but at least they're not waging wars to everyone else leaving on this planet!!!'Cause that's why your country is famous!!!It's the most..."sneaky" kind of fasism what there is over there!

[walterscraziestfun]

@JamesSCassidy And now,please excuse my crappy English.But you see at least I can speak some foreign languages....Unlike most Americans....

[RCHS2013]

@walterscraziestfun okay i take slight offence to that i'm american and i can speak at least 6 different languages and i only know a few people who only know English. so please think before commenting.

[LoveStoriesInc]

@JamesSCassidy oh, and also, Russia is democratic now.

[Wrekkit1]

@LoveStoriesInc For a given value of 'democratic'

[LoveStoriesInc]

@Wrekkit1 Still democatic.

[JamesSCassidy]

Okay, funny how everyone hates on America, but loves the freedom America provides. Probably is, this new generation of rebellious attitude is a false idea. Sad part is, some of you don't really know how good you have it compared to say how it was in 1920-1940 or even earlier. Even in third world countries. I wouldn't look down on America because in some other countries you have no rights at all and if you even say anything against it, you could be killed or taken away never to be seen again.

[dula0721]

@JamesSCassidy dude chill its just a song

[bluezac2021]

u say Justin Bieber I say Green Day u say Bruno Mars I say Green Day u say Lady Gaga I say Green Day u say Miley Cyrus I say Green Day u say T-Pain I say Green Day u say Rebecca Black I say Green Day u say Jonas Brother, I say Green Day u say Flowers. I say Green Day 92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If u r part of the 8% that still listens to greenday copy and paste this message to 5 other green day videos. DONT LET GREENDAY DIE! thumbs up if you agree

[blubary668]

[lukebrennan575]

greenday suck dick

[bblax10]

green day is my favorite ROCK band!!!!!! I <3 them

[dieall37]

I'm American and love what it originally stood for. I hate the people and current government. And especially the newest generation. If you hate the patriotism you don't have to go videos and articles that mention America.

[bblax10]

@dieall37

[LoveStoriesInc]

I'm tired of people saying shit like, "The US is the best country in the woooooooooooooooooorld!!"

No. Fuck you. It's not. I would rather be in a 3rd world country.

[IshyD2K9Blad]

@LoveStoriesInc no you wouldn't dumb fuck!

[LoveStoriesInc]

@IshyD2K9Blad Yes, I would. I'm tired of all the ignorant Americans around me. Good day, sir.

[IshyD2K9Blad]

@LoveStoriesInc course not so you would suffer with famine and tsunamis etc just to be away from ignorant people you sir are a twat!

[LoveStoriesInc]

@IshyD2K9Blad Ignorance, stupidity and a retarded governmet, yes. I would rather go through that then live in America.

Luckily, I can live in Japan cheaper without having to live in a third world country, so your arguement is pointless.

[IshyD2K9Blad]

@LoveStoriesInc well if you live in japan stop hating on the US remember Hiroshima

[LoveStoriesInc]

@IshyD2K9Blad I don't live in Japan. I'm an American citizen who, unlike most other Americans, sees all the flaws in out society here and is fed up with this shit.

[JamesSCassidy]

@LoveStoriesInc Then go then. No one is stopping you from leaving if you hate it here so bad. Go to Iraq, if you think it is better. You have the freedom to do so. Kind of what America is based on...freedom, but remember freedom isn't free. Some don't even have rights at all.

[LoveStoriesInc]

@JamesSCassidy No, I have nothing wrong with what America USED to stand for. USED to. Now it's just a bunch of crap. Before, there was a REASON to be patriotic. Way back when, BEFORE politicians only made sense when you were really stoned.

[sugarcoatedcrazyness]

@LoveStoriesInc Amen to that

[LoveStoriesInc]

@sugarcoatedcrazyness finally someone gets it.

[125guitargeek]

@LoveStoriesInc Amen.

[thecocoabeans1]

@LoveStoriesInc you are a socialist anarchist commie! let me tell you something, if it wasn't for our government, you would be stuck in siberia right now, sucking the juice from a rotten commie potato! if politicians want to do something, whatever it is, you say THANK YOU and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

[LoveStoriesInc]

@thecocoabeans1 No. I'm just someone who can see the truth. If it wasn't for the government, I would actually be hanging out with the Queen of England, probably still hanging in Windsor Castle with the Hatfield name still in place.

America isn't the best thing that happened to te world, alright? If America didn't exist, things would be the same, if not better. America is, like, the baby of the world. We're one of, if not the, youngest countries of the world. They don't need us.

[thecocoabeans1]

@LoveStoriesInc nah man, if not for america, the russians and terrorist would have taken over!!! SOUTH CARLOLINA, WASSUP!!!

[LoveStoriesInc]

@thecocoabeans1 Whatever, redneck.

[adamisajoker]

@thecocoabeans1 You do realize it's impossible to be a socialist, communist, and anarchists. They're all different things.

[thecocoabeans1]

@adamisajoker anyone who hates the government or opposes anything the government does is a socialist anarchist commie.

[adamisajoker]

@thecocoabeans1 Eyup, you're trolling. Or you're just that incredibly stupid.

[LoveStoriesInc]

@adamisajoker No, just a retard.

[gouxousexre]

perfectttttttttttt



[greendean56]

maybe im the faggot america! thats a brave lyric man.

[Rubyrules344]

If they ever make a movie of No Child's Game, this song should be in it.

[marcosking8]

Illuminati?

[attigiggity]

dislikers must be hot by 21 guns will walking alone in september

[kalivojada]

if u hate this song u have no life

[sugarcoatedcrazyness]

This is my song, I've always hated this place. It's filled nothing but hateful jackasses and uptight, snobby bitches.

[attigiggity]

@sugarcoatedcrazyness excuse me but i luv America well less then i did before I listend 2 da song but i still luv America

[sugarcoatedcrazyness]

@attigiggity I never said that people should hate American, it's just that I don't like it. Most people I know are douchebags and I don't like, mainly because they bully me but that's beside the point!

[attigiggity]

@sugarcoatedcrazyness sorry 4 da misunderstanding

[sugarcoatedcrazyness]

@attigiggity It's okay, I'm used to people not understanding what I'm saying.

[TheGermanSnipe]

@sugarcoatedcrazyness You must be hanging out with the wrong people then.

[TheGermanSnipe]

@sugarcoatedcrazyness Or unless you're talking about political figures, celebrities, etc.

[sugarcoatedcrazyness]

@TheGermanSnipe No, mainly the asses at my school that I DON"T hang around. They follow me around, even though I threatened to kill them in their sleep multiple times. But those people are idiots as well.

[Drmalpractace]

@sugarcoatedcrazyness As an American I like this song even though it's rude what I don't like is some Idiot bashing my country because pf the way fucking politicians act. or as I like to refer to them government vampires.

[envy4hearts]

how long was this song again?

[Bploude415]

[thecocoabeans1]

green day are freeloading soviet canuckistanis

[FighterGuDude3214]

@thecocoabeans1 And you're an asshole.

[gouxousexre]

green day is very good, but eminem is god xD

[FighterGuDude3214]

@gouxousexre You just broke a major rule. You DO NOT go to someone else' music and say "This is good, but that other guy is GOD". First, it's unethical. Second, it's a good way to be an ass. "You're good, but that other guy is better than you."

[emernin8]

[richardhugger12]

[TheKei42]

@richardhugger12 And I'm sure many other American Idiots agree with you.

[s14fruppert]

OMIGAWD SHUT UP EVERYONE! in America they teach north and south to be separate continents, but my German uncle says he was taught there were only five total, and that america is both north and south. Be culturally aware and stop being American or whatever other kind of idiot you are! Differnt cultures have different perceptions of geography! ENJOY THE FRIGGING MUSIC!

[Icezland85]

[Rubyrules344]

I hate everything, except animals. Animals survive WITHOUT polluting the world. Why can't we? This has nothing to do with anything but I'm just saying...I

agree with this song......0.0......

[MrCriticfromhell]

America, (i'm going to include Europe Canada and Australia in this) is what's wrong with the world, economically, politically, and environmentally, that's why food shouldn't be sent to poor countries, if you want to feed them, fight the problem at its source.

[thecocoabeans1]

@MrCriticfromhell no, america is responsible for the good in the world. soviet canuckistan and the axis of weasels just try to stop us. if you think china has a better system than the USA youre obviously a commie! SOUTH CAROLINA, REPREZENT1N!

[SofiaLovesCupcakes]

I'm an American and I agree with this song =.=

[Feromoer1]

Canada is better than america, its a fact, deal with it,

[DorothyOH]

@Feromoer1 I never been to Canada and im not hatin on Canada but no other country is better than america i mean every country has it problems but what conutry do people go to to have a better life? America!!! And i mean are biggest problem is people help the problems in other countries but not ours and this is how it needs to be Obama fix the problems we have here be4 helpin the other problems in other counties rite?? :)

[rubber11ninja]

@DorothyOH Uk dont have to pay for health care, I rest my case

[wide46]
