Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics

21 years ago

First of all, this song is not ENTIRELY about Bush. So I can safely say, that whoever states that this song is entirely anti-bush, is in fact, dull. If the majority of you would actually TAKE THE TIME and listen to, and examine the cd, you would actually find out that American Idiot is the introduction to the Jesus of Suburbia. The storyline of the song is about a confused American, living in a very confusing time period and he is unfamiliar to his environment and surroundings. If I see anymore posts after my post, stating that this song is anti-bush without stating any reasonable facts that dont surpass mine, than to hell with you all.

I see why you hate Sum so much, but its certainly the wrong reason to hate them. I dont like rap at all, but look at the trends these kids follow today. Theyd listsen to anything to be apart of the group, even if it means listening to mainstream rap that has no point, whatsoever. Sum 41 doesn't deliver anything new in their album, thats because it was HEAVILY influenced by their past idols. I wouldn't highly consider Sum 41 as rock, because the genre that heavily fits them is punk. Their riffs may have the rock bits, but their tone of vocals have the exception of being punk. Of course I'm listening, but I know you aren't listening to my facts.

Obviously, yeahyeahwhatever has no common sense whatsoever. Lyrically, GD is impressive and epic. I'm not sure why you're assuming they're just doing it for fame, because I can assure you, they are one of the hardest working bands I've seen so far. They incorpporate the money they make from MTV into their music, so Im not sure why you're still here.

Its funny how you consider me a fanboy. Im getting the straightforward fact that you have no idea what a fanboy is. A fanboy is a person who promotes a band, while at the same time, bashes a band they dont have interest in. Is rock dead? That's your opinion. In my opinion, you guys just completely give up on rock once you here a band you dislike. You hardly give any other bands the oppurtunity to even show their talent, considering that the both of you hardly even touched the new album. Forget replying back, if you can show me proof that Sum 41 has no talent, buy the cd, and we'll confirm that.

Of course Mothra makes sense to you, its because you're not a fan of them, and you're trying to promote it by listing other bands. That's the exact behavior every other musical fanboy has to offer. "They suck, if you want real music, listen to *band name*". It's utterly predictable. I'm not even sure if you read my posts correctly. What do you mean they're selling out? If i'm not mistaken, they seem to never take a rest from touring, and unless they do, they spend that recreational time creating a new album. Are Good Charlotte and Sum 41 the same bands? No, compare the two, and Sum 41 will sound heavier, if not, more meaningful than GC. I never said they were anti corporate, I just said they were different from other bands. I'm not quite sure where you even got the idea in the first place. How are they different? They're the only band on MTV that puts that effort of money they make from the mainstream crowd into they're music. Do they suck musically? Or is it that you haven't listened deeply into their newest album yet? Notice the influences in their fills. Do they sound like something you've heard before? Yes, it does, because they wanted to base that album off of their classic idols, almost as a tribute to them, if you will. So when you say Sum 41 sounds like "everything else", I'll ask you this: Does it sound like a mainstream pop album or a tribute to the classic Rock stars?

The point of the single is to attract fans to buy their album. Not to be their "best". Look at you, you can barely keep your facts straight, let alone hide your ignorancy. Don't bother replying back, you'll just waste your time.

"im not comparing their sound you jackass.." You just dont give up do you? This may be your opinion, but your back-up facts prove nothing. Just by EXAMINING your post, I can easily tell that you have only heard about 3 of thier singles, so you automatically think in your small-peanutsized head that you NEED to justify that they suck by making no sense and having no meaning in your common sense whatsoever. You dont own the album, so who the fuck are you to judge? You've only heard the singles, you ignornat little bastard. You cant even judge whether or not they're pop because the only sounds you've heard from them are the singles. That's pathetic; especially coming from a Zeppelin fan. I feel ashamed to be a fan of Zeppelin now, because you give an example of what the rest of the Zeppelin fans will act like. Even by looking at your english, I can assume that you're ignorancy will show even with the slightest word you type. Use your common sense, and act like an adult, because whatever you do, you cant do anything to prove your point.

"its my opinion take it or leave it" I never even tried to justify whether or not it was a true opinion in the first place=\ That was my understanding of the song, and considering this is songmeanings.com, I would rightfully assume that everyone would understand that it was an opinion. I'm sorry, but complaining to the fact that the song does contain politics and yet at the same time saying I am hard on opinions is kind of an ironic situation. If you dont want to stick to your beliefs, than fine. I have no problem in seeing that. But when at the same time trying to defend your beliefs while beating mine down, seems ironic and a tad unnecessary.

My god, you act like Deryck is the only one in the band. In case you haven't noticed(which you didn't) Deryck is NOT supposed to be infatuated with the Guitar Tabs in the first place. He is the vocalist, therefore he remains the vocalist and NOT taking the place of the guitarist. The guitarist, which is Dave, may not be equally as good as Led Zeppelin, but for fuck's sake, THEY'RE ONLY IN THEIR EARLY 20'S. It's as if you act like every new musician that comes out, must equally compare to the likes of Metallica, for example. And why in the first place are you comparing Sum 41 to Led Zeppelin, in the first place? THEY SOUND NOTHING ALIKE, yet you continue to rant about how they're nothing compared to them. Sure, Pink Floyd and the rest of those you mentioned may have the upperhand against Sum 41, but honestly, they're ROCK LEGENDS. Sum 41 delivers no more pop to their fans. They were sick of being the stereotypical brats you claim them to be, well, guess what? They've changed their style of music. Listen to the record and you'll notice heavy influences from Iron Maiden, Metallica, Nirvana, the list is practically endless. Look at the drummer. He delivers fast, 32nd beats in just 5 seconds. I'm sorry but I dont think The Beatles sound ANYTHING like what rock is like today. Believe me son, I'm 36, and I know what kind of music you're talking about. And I WAS into the music you're talking about. But look, you CANNOT compare Sum 41 to The Beatles without making a total ass out of yourself, because from what I've heard, they sound NOTHING alike.

Wow, you really proved your point by making yourself the "little bitch" you mentioned in your post. That proved nothing. It just showed that you have no knowledge in music, yet you think you need to justify the fact that you do. Which of course, you don't. If you WERE the smart one in this convo, than I would have expectations of you to handle this maturely, which of course, you didn't. Therefore, I can rightfully assume that you're just a whinier bitch than your assumption of Deryck, and that you have NO idea what you're talking about. It's callled logic, son. Learn it, live it, love it.

This is by far, Sum 41's greatest song. The Guitar Solo, the lyrics, the mystery behind the song. It all fits like a puzzle. Lyrically, the song spouts question, and it certainly sparks more than what it should be about.

Mothra, I highly doubt that you even OWN the Sum 41 album. Emo mouth? Sum 41, by any means, is NOT an Emo band. Even comparing the two together shows your ignorancy. Listen to the lyrics, incorporate the meanings, and get some sense slapped into you.

Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics

21 years ago

"if you are referring to other songs on the cd also including referance to the "american idiot" you're point could be backed up. but until you back yourself up, your wrong." Well whatsername, that was my understanding of the song. I never really liked songs that complained about politics and such. Politics just dont fit in with music at all. And I think Green Day understands that very much. When Billie sings "Dont Wanna Be an American Idiot" I'm guessing that he stated himself already to be an American Idiot, but regretting to be one. I also remember making a comment about the song being about himself during a concert. Of course, everyone has an opinion of the song, and I just feel people's opinions of saying that American is a political song feels out of place. Im not sure politics fit into rock operas either. Holiday is a political song, but it fits into the storyline very much. I do recall Billie Joe saying in an interview that Holiday was about the Jesus of Suburbia finally running away from home, and finnally experiencing the real world.And of course, in the real world, there's wars, and bickering politicians. The part where he states "Sieg Heil to the President Gasman" is about the Jesus of Suburbia having a dream, that he is the representative of California, saying such blasphomy a politician would never say. And thats where GD fits the irony into the song. "politicians are so confident in what they're saying, I think it would be very odd for them to say the exact lines from Holiday" is a quote of what Billie Joe says in one interview I've read.

Oh boy. First of all, this song has nothing to do with Bush, or pollitics at ALL. This song, is in fact, about a confused American(preferably Bille Joe himself), not understanding the wolrd he's living in. He criticizes himself for being an American Idiot because he doesn't quite understand the meaning of American society just quite yet.

Green Day – Homecoming Lyrics	21 years ago
Tre's part really stood out from "Nobody Likes you"(sorry guys, but I think that this part was sung by Mike instead of Billie). I enjoy the several references R&R Girlfriend made to the "American Idiot". It's something a band never does.
