以下是Green Day的American Idiot的歌詞：
Verse 1:
Everybody's talking, nobody's listening
Everyone's so cynical, it's getting hard to breathe
We're all just looking for a reason to believe
But it's getting harder and harder to define
Chorus:
American Idiot, what have we done to the world?
American Dream, it's all a big mistake
We're all just searching for a way to make it right
But we're all just American Idiots to you
Verse 2:
Everyone's so lost, everyone's so scared
It's like we're all just running in circles, we're nowhere near the start
We're all just looking for a reason to believe
But it's getting harder and harder to define
Chorus:
American Idiot, what have we done to the world?
American Dream, it's all a big mistake
We're all just searching for a way to make it right
But we're all just American Idiots to me
Bridge:
So I ask you now, what are we waiting for?
The world is spinning out of control, we gotta change the way we live
Gotta break free from these chains that we keep dragging around
We gotta rise above, even if it seems like hopeless cause we can still find a way to save the world
Chorus:
American Idiot, we know what we have to do
American Dream, we can still make it right
So let's find our way, back to a place of love and understanding
Because we're still just American Idiots to you, but also to me
