‘American Idiot’.
Green Day
return this autumn with their most ambitious album yet.

Released on September 21, the band's eighth album is a self-confessed rock opera which ‘details the alienation and disillusionment of the American citizen under Bush’s post-War On Terror administration’.

The band have been heavily involved in the US rock campaign to urge young voters to take part in the forthcoming presidential election.

Two tracks, ‘Jesus Of Suburbia’ and ‘Homecoming’ are five-part operettas, making a mammoth tracklisting as follows:

* ’American Idiot’
* ’Jesus Of Suburbia’ (‘Jesus Of Suburbia’, ‘City Of The Damned’, ‘I Don’t Care’, ‘Dearly Beloved’, ‘Tales Of Another Broken Home’)
* ’Holiday’
* ’Boulevard Of Broken Dreams’
* ’Are We The Waiting’
* ’St Jimmy’
* ’Give Me Novocaine’
* ’She’s A Rebel’
* ’Extraordinary Girl’
* ’Letterbomb’
* ’Wake Me Up When September Ends’
* ’Homecoming’ (‘The Death Of St Jimmy’, ‘’East 12th St’, ‘Nobody Likes You’, ‘Rock and Roll Girlfriend’, ‘We’re Coming Home’)
* ’Whatsername’

Artist : Green Day

Title : American Idiot

Album : American Idiot

Genre : Modern Rock


Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation that's 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.
Convincing them to walk you.

Well maybe I'm the fuckhead 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.
Don't want a 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.

5. If you get the chance. . .
Check out some Fishbone from the early to late '90's. Their lyrics (in some songs) are so precient to these times that it's scary.

9. Here's a youth vote story
I was going to Langara College during the last municipal elections in BC. The day before the election I tried to get a last minute comment from the NPA.... the guy said they weren't talking to student media today...this pissed me off because the Jen Clark Cow also was a no-show at the debate Langara held. So I sent them an email basically saying, you people have ignored the youth vote this entire election and now it will cost you. I also mention we were the future of journalism in the city and this guy wasn't making a good impression (Very unprofessional of me I know)
I got a snarky email back saying "Well, it's understood on the last day of an election don't you think, and on a personal note, don't count your chickens."
Well, the next day the NPA was wiped out by the Liberal COPE party...why? Because a huge voter turnout spurred by a massively irregular high amount of young voters came out.
Cope lost all but ONE seat at council. (Maybe two, I can't remember) and COPE took almost every seat on the school board too....
I should have emailed him referencing my first email.

8. agreed
all these polls we're seeing DO NOT question young people.

young people are much less likely to have steady phone numbers or addresses so they're much harder for pollsters to contact.

i truly believe that the youth vote will hit over 50% this year.

we will give kerry the presidency.

i agree, bush is FUCKED
