Green Day's latest Album Title!

Glad I'm not one but a bit worried that there is one in high office now!:eek:

Interesting to note that most of the rest of the world seems rather unhappy about it.

" Don't want to be an American Idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
Can You here the sound of hysteria
The subliminal mindf**k america
Welcome to the new King of tension
All across the Alienation
where everything isn't meant to be ok
Television dreams of tomorrow
were not the ones meant to follow
for thats enough to argue
Maybe I'm the f*****America
I'm not a part of the red neck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
and sing along to the age of Paranoia
Don't want to be an American Idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Calling out to idiot America."

Green Day said it best!

But then I'm not one Phew

Is it a coincedence this song was very high in the Euro top 20 the other week?

Yup it's a catchy little' bubble gum pop song.  Can't believe people consider Green Day punk.  They are about as top 40 as Brit. Spears.

Good tune tho'

A superficial, artlessly-executed song by a band well past its prime.

They need to bite the bullet and start writing jingles for Volvo commercials.

Not liking this song=craziness?

I didn't realize that faith in Greenday's brilliance was a universal constant. Must have missed the memo.

As for jealousy, I think I'll reserve mine for those with enduring talent, not just an enduring fan-base. I used to be one of them, actually, years ago. Now I think they're tired and silly. With this song at least, they certainly seem to be riding the wave of popular sentiments generally held by the demographic to which they've historically appealed. Given some thought, they may have been able to make it sound good. Instead they just took a bunch of cliches and duct-taped them together with some distorted guitar.

Dehydration can cause hallucinations, which are temporary in nature because prolonged dehydration will inevitably lead to death.  Mental disorders are either lengthy or permanent deviations from established norms--generally inborn or products of altered body chemistry. Pills can aid stability in certain cases, but they can also worsten the situation.

Let me know if you want a lesson in the proper use of capital letters.

Not sure what to even say about this bit of insight. Wow, thanks, really it so refreshing to meet a condescending euro these days. You really need to put some patronizing verbage in there as well.

And you wonder why we ignore you.

Green Day named themselves after a day you spent laying around, smoking green bud. This is your prophet?
