"This Song Is Not Anti-American... It's Anti-WWWWAAAARRRRR!!!!"

[matcom]

Say, Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon plague (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

(Hey!)
(Say, Hey!)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Seek out to the president gasman
Bombs away is your PUNISHMENT
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your GOVERMENT
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that DON'T AGREE
Trials by fire, sinners, fighters
Is not a way that's MEANT FOR ME
Just cause, just cause, because we're on the news!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

6. Do they do the entire American Idiot album (since it's all about one thing

I'm sure they do some other favorites as well, but I'd love to see AI performed all at once. I bet that is powerful!

[hibbing]

9. not the whole thing

No, they didn't do the whole thing, but a lot of songs from it.
They also did some good banter like "I want you to sing so loud
that every f*ing redneck in America can hear you!!"

4. It's a free country so f**k em if they don't get it....
