Green Day

Today, you get a two-fer. Two politically charged tunes from Green Day's latest album, American Idiot:

• "American Idiot"
  
  Don't wanna be an American idiot.
  Don't want a nation under the new mania.
  And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
  The subliminal mind fuck America.
  
  Welcome to a new kind of tension.
  All across the alienation.
  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.
  
  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 alienation.
  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.
  One nation controlled by the media.
  Information age of hysteria.
  It's calling out to idiot America.
  
  Welcome to a new kind of tension.
  All across the alienation.
  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

• "Holiday"
  
  Hear the sound of the falling rain
  Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
  The shame
  The ones who died without a name
  
  Hear the dogs howling out of key
  To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
  And bleed, the company lost the war today
  
  I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
  This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
  On holiday
  
  Hear the drum pounding out of time
  Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
  To find, the money's on the other side
  
  Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
  There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
  A gag, A plastic bag on a monument
  
  I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
  This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
  On holiday
  
  "The representative from California has the floor"
  
  Zieg Heil to the president gasman
  Bombs away is your punishment
  Pulverize the Eiffel towers
  Who criticize your government
  Bang bang goes the broken glass and
  Kill all the fags that don't agree
  Trials by fire, setting fire
  Is not a way that's meant for me
  Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
  
  I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
  This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
