I'm on a greyhound bound for nowhere On a greyhound bound for nowhere And that ring your wearing Don't mean everything And the way you stood staring As you watched me roll away She loves you and you need me And there's some things we can't share Rain on

Right now, hey It's your tomorrow C'mon, it's everything Right here and now It means everything Don't want to wait 'til tomorrow Why put it off another day

Everything black, I don't want black I want everything black, I ain't need black Some white some black, I ain't mean black I want everything black Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean I'm African-American, I'm African You hate me

Like "ooh, ah, pull up, hop out, ooh, ah" No faith, no fear, I know the drill You got a girl so don't get too close to me I mean, ain't that how it's supposed to be Mysterious, interesting, true Commenting I listen 'Cause everything I was thinking about

Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation Where everything isn't meant to be okay Television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones who're meant to follow For that's enough to argue Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation

Some things fall when they're meant to fall Don't give me more than I can handle This is not like it was before Baby I'm not afraid And you can see everything Don't give me more than I can take Oh hell just give me all you've got in every way It's not

Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation Where everything isn't meant to be okay Television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones who're meant to follow For that's enough to argue Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation

Right now, hey It's your tomorrow C'mon, it's everything Right here and now It means everything Don't want to wait 'til tomorrow Why put it off another day

Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, yeah If I ain't got you with me baby

Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alienation Where everything isn't meant to be okay Television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones who're meant to follow For that's enough to argue Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation
