JeremyWhite Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Just wanted to point this out since someone has it in their profile at the bottom of posts. The lyrics are: Don't want to be an American Idiot, One nation UNDER THE NEW MANIA (not controlled by the media) the song is about George W's crazy policies. ======= In other news, this is the first topic i started. I feel like that's a big day for me. Hope I did it right (with the OT note in the subject and all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 i don't think it belongs in ppp - it is a post about song lyrics. It is an OT post that fits right in with discusions of television shows, tooth decay, and some of our other recent OT posts. Because he corrects the sig. of one of the most prolific PPP posters that does not mean the post should be cast to the depths of TSW hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleTheWagons Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 The lyrics are: Don't want to be an American Idiot, One nation UNDER THE NEW MANIA (not controlled by the media) I don't want to debate the meaning of the song with you, but if you're going to challenge another poster with 1,000,000+ posts, perhaps you should have a reference to the lyrics in your thread. Although the initial part of the song seems to be "under the new mania", it seems that later in the song it does have "controlled by the media." Here are the lyrics I found on the web: American Idiot 1 American Idiot 2 Of course, I KNOW that AD will appreciate this thread. This thread is just full of opportunities to use the guy.

JeremyWhite Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 Ya man, you got no street credit. 264689[/snapback] Allright, allright, point taken. Those lyrics you bring up from a website say "media", but if you look in the lyric book included in the CD, it says "under the new mania". the link you provided has incorrect lyrics. I'll trust the actual words written on paper by the band. Sorry to have offended a 100,000+ poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleTheWagons Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Allright, allright, point taken. Those lyrics do appear later in the song, but it should be noted that the 2nd line of the song is not about the media. Sorry to have offended a 100,000+ poster. 264696[/snapback] Pssst - I think you're allowed to delete your own threads now.

I'm not a part of a redneck agenda. Now everybody do the propaganda. And sing along in the age of paranoia. that's wrong too. Whatever...sorry. Didn't feel like everyone would freak out.

So far this one has proved me wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is usually all it takes.... the song is about George W's crazy policies. No big deal, just giving my take. I hope you do post again.

I guess everyone wrote it down wrong? http://greendayweb.yaia.com/lyricsamericanidiot.html http://green-day.lyrics-songs.com/lyrics/92495/ "Don't wanna be an American idiot. Don't want a nation under the new mania." ... "Don't wanna be an American idiot. One nation controlled by the media." People are even posting that on USENET: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/uk.pol...9a921e2a614218d I've heard the song on the radio numerous times, and there's no way that "controlled by the media" sounds anything like "under the new mania." Maybe your liner notes are a misprint and you could sell it on eBay for $18,583.33! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I am actually defending the rookie over you guys here. According the CD book, it is mania, not media. I still think that it is funny. It sounds like "mee-nee-ia," but then again Billy Joe Armstrong is noted for his mispronunciation of words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time I've seen incorrect lyrics in the liner notes. Just because it's in the book, doesn't make it correct. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
