Green Day vs. Weird Al Yankovic



American Idiot
Green Day
Don’t wanna be an American idiot
Don’t want a nation that doesn’t do media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria
The subliminal mind-f#$% America

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
Well 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 alien nation
Everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
Well that’s enough to argue

Don’t wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information nation of hysteria
It’s going out to idiot America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
Well that’s enough to argue





Canadian Idiot
Weird Al Yankovic
Don’t wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don’t wanna be some beer-swillin’ hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hosehead
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed

They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they leave the house without packing heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny
Their stupid Monopoly money
Can’t take ‘em seriously at all

Well maple syrup and snow’s what they export
They treat curling just like it’s a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can’t understand a thing they’re talkin’ aboot

Sure they’ve got their national healthcare
Cheaper meds
Low crime rates and clean air
Then again all they’ve got is Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of drivin’ a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan

Don’t wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won’t figure out the temperature in Celsius
See the map
They’re hovering right over us
Tell you the truth
It makes me kinda nervous

Always hear the same kind of story
Break their nose
And they’ll just say sorry
Tell me what kinda freaks are that polite
It’s gotta mean they’re all up to something
So quick before they see it coming
Time for a pre-emptive strike

  1. Green Day has some good songs but this isn't one of my favorites. I'll have to say that Weird Al's version is much better.

  3. I just stopped by to visit and see how you are doing.

    I have to say I love Weird Al so I am going with him.

    I have been on a quest looking for a new place to live, for the past 7 months. Now I am all moved into the perfect place for me so I can visit all of my favorite sites and yours is one of them.

    I just did a post on the pioneers of Your Caring Angels so come by and see because you are one of them. I hope you like it.

    Love and Blessings,
    AngelBaby
