Interrupters, The - American Idiot Lyrics
Don't want to 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
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
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 to the age of paranoia
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
For that's enough to argue
Don't want to 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 alien nation
Where 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

Interrupters, The American Idiot Comments
Love this please do more kindest regards mickT
Fuck, her voice is so good. Reminds me of Brody Dalle's.
Love it👌
that's funky as hell. i really like this version. saw these guys with green day in 2017.. fucking amazing live
Johnny Test of the Creek
Why cover this? I don't want to be a Canadian Idiot.
Better than the original!
So much better then 5 sos
I never knew this was a thing!!!
This is great!!
Ok my number one band since high school, is getting covered, It's official. we're old... still dig it tho lol
When some one says skapunk is dead i answer, do you know interrupters?
I gave up on ever getting another Streetlight Manifesto so this will have to do
I wanna like it, and I should, cuz I like both bands, and the Interrupters are among one of the best new bands out there IMO...but I can't really get down with Aimee's vocals on this version =/
I'll give em credit for trying though, but this just misses the mark in my book.
Trump 2020!!
I think we all hope not. I'm from the UK so ill feel bad for u if he stays. Wish u luck lol
Jonny test anyone?
No me guste green day pero buena version aguanteee the interrupters ska punkkkk y cervezaaaa
I’m a bit iffy on the vocals but aside from that I think it’s a cool cover, the style is so different from the original yet somewhat similar and doesn’t butcher the song
what an another American idiot?
They've aced it. Awesome.
OMG THEY REALLY TRANSFORMED THE SONG
I can't believe I'm just finding this now. This is fucking awesome!
DAMN! The Interrupters strike again! Rapidly becoming a favorite these days. Looking forward to seeing them at Punk in Drublic on June 3rd.
Melhor q a versão original kkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkk venham pro Brasil! Mais só vcs... Não venha nesses eventos de rico pra toca pra burguesia!
Exatamenre kkkkkk!!!
Wow I never really liked this song but I like The Interrupters and I think they made it better!
Whatever it takes to get you to listen to green day, that's all that matters
Brilliant Stuff
I'm their brother
The instruments have kind of an Operation Ivy vibe to them, I could see Jesse singing this definitely
Chiquirop Chiquirop Chiquirop ska ska Movimiento skin perros
いつの間にこんなカバーしてたんだ笑
グリーンデイもインタラプターズも好きだからうれしいね!
i love this covet cause i love green day and the interrupters.
i love this covet cause i love green day and the interrupters.
Perfect blend of ska and surf rock, this should be on nimrod
Operation…!?
good
Dammit, Kerrang! You have to make everything like shit.
I have to say that I am bias here cause I am actually just in love with Aimee Allen, love the gal. But I like the Interrupters version of this song better than Green Day's. It is really sexy hearing a chick nail a song done by dudes only basically for dudes. Great Job I think. Aimee Interrupter and the guy Interrupters nailed this song. Green Day's draw back is that they are punk up to a point; when in reality Green Day were pretty commercial from the very so beginning. So it makes me laugh to read people of any type having to say anything about The Interrupters version of this song or any song as because The Interrupters (say what you will about their collaborating too much with Tim Armstrong, to which I agree they need to go create more their own sound: as they have some but not enough) they have never claimed themselves as part of any oh suckling on the tit that Green Day has always put its lips onto. Green Day were a commercial band and still are basically. Aimee Allen turned down a big music there contract and big publishing companies over producing her, where Green Day signed on the dotted line and went with being over produced. In my oh opinion Green Day should be honored to have someone like Aimee cover them. She is first class. Same with the band. Green Day is a bunch of closet homos afraid of their proclivity.
oh yeah lets say a lot a shit and than make a stupid joke about gays. maybe in your opinion green day is over produced, but that's just your opinion. it's not a fact. actually, green day and the interrupters and really really good friends and they write songs and produce them together a lot.
Que buen cover
This reggae rock band sucks ass -_- just like Rancid and the likes
SKA SUCKS!
This is funny. Green Day song with Operation Ivy-like music, i bet Aimee last name's now Armstrong too!
Given that Billie at some point asked Tim to be part of Green day, but he opted not to and go off in another direction.
Aimee is married to Kevin the guitar player for Interuptors/Transplants.
This is so good I'm glad that Kerrang brought the interrupters in to cover this
Ah yes I love when one of my favorite over-driven pop punk songs is turned into some shitty beach anthem.
this is so fucking good, american idiot ska version is very awesome
BRING BACK THE SKINS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Okay fuck you can't disagree with me hear, they destroyed the instrumental! The iconic American Idiot riff was destroyed by some Mexican sounding shit! But to be honest it does have a cool Rancid vibe to it
I can disagree with you
If American Idiot was in Nimrod
Was thinking exactly the same thing
Have you even listened to nimrod no Green Day songs sound anything like this
This sounds like something from sonic heroes xD
seeing these guys open for green day super excited
I WASN'T READY FOR THIS AHGAHGAHAHAH I LOVE THE BEACH BOYS FEEL IM GETTING FROM THIS
If Rancid wrote this song....
Daniel Solano Tim Armstrong actually signed this band and does a song with them called Family
@King SLAYER!! I know, i love this band and Hellcat Records.
Daniel Solano same. I got to see The Interrupters last October. Killer live show
Duh... totally Rancid inspired!
It sounds more like Operation Ivy
this is fucking fabulous
pretty cool cover;)
Guys, if want a 'punk sound' so badly, go listen to the original -_-
You don't get to talk about punk when you have an emo kid as your avatar picture
Brad Redundant a punk does whatever the heck he/she wants, you also don't get to tell him/her what to do mate - it's really not punk at all
Serious Goofball you go around telling people what to do and what's not to do , so punk
I'll see all you emo pussies in the pit. You'll know it's me because I'll be the real punk smearing your guy liner with my fucking elbow!!!
@efri andy bahar more ska
This is the only one I've heard from this tribute album that isn't an offensive pile of steamy shit, I do really like The Interrupters though so I might be biased
Sean Kearns what dud you thunk about Milk teeth?
piefort99 didn't care enough to remember
Still better than 5 Seconds of Summer, I'll give it that.
Scsigs Gaming I was thinking the same thing....
a 3 year old on a toy piano would be better than 5 seconds of shit
I like 5 Seconds of Summer's version of this song better. Their cover actually sounds like a song. This version is so bad, it makes it seem as if this was made for another generation. If you played this for someone that would have no idea this is Green Day. American Idiot is their most well known song. Please choose another artist for this next time.
Are you on crack
Hermione Styles They basically just wanna be Greenday, They're just wannabes
kaas I was Referring to 5SOS
kaas Idk why everyone says theyre not Punk. Describe Punk for me
If its cover it shouldnt sound same... and if you like 5sos pls kys
All these bands are good but they suck at this XD
These guys would've done better covering a different song. Good sound. Just not for this track.
This one needs more of an angry punch.
Definitely the most unique out of all the covers. Best track imo.
DiarmuidMcGurk same. I think a lot of these tracks are almost insulting to green day. the only ones I actually liked the covers of are Hitchin a Ride, 21 Guns, She, and When I Come Around
The Lonely Hobbit exactly my thoughts half of them especially this song is a massive middle finger to green day
Wallace McGudis I think it's better than the original
If you think this is an insult you're a fucking moron
Dude these people opened for GD on their last tour. They are a ska punk band. Billie helped them write a song on their new album. It's not an insult. Just a different genre.
I like some of the bands stuff but I hate this I think it ruined the original for me holy shit
this is really good, love the beach vibe a lot and nothing bad to say besides it's not the original which doesent matter so WOW
Black Ice Entertainment *ska vibe
it sounds like something that could be in bill and Ted's excellent adventure :/
This is fucking sick
Omg ska American Idiot
hey doesn't this sound like that Foxboro Hot Tubs bands??? (wink wink)
it's sounds like The Interrupters
Skamerican Idiot.
keep checking back. more tracks comin'..,
hi please can you upload the Twin Atlantic cover of Good Riddance?? 🤗
Done. Enjoy!
pretty unique
