Lyrics:
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 mind*** America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the idiot 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 idiot 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 idiot 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.

Good job man solo is perfect or close to perfect sounds great. Way better than those other tabs.Thanx dude

Go figure. The correct version of this tab gets a 4 star raiting. You people amaze me and at the same time make me sick.

This tab is great aside from one thing. The C# in the verse should only be played twice, not three times. The solo is correct here, it's played with two strings, not one. LISTEN TO THE SONG, YOU CAN HEAR IT! This tab should have the 5 star raiting, good job.
