cool video, but i couldn't understand any of the words. so then i had to google them, and they still didn't make much sense. however, the video was full of powerful images and it will hopefully cause a lot of youngsters to take notice of the things that are happening around the world. and now, i will plug green day again...

Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind**** America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the idiot nation.
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 idiot nation.
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 going out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the idiot nation.
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.

Good video. Eminem is one of the few rappers whose songs can sometimes make me feel something, instead of just contemplating "hos" and various forms of weaponry and violence. People all over LJ are calling for everyone to go to the voting booths in black hoodies. I'm thinking about buying one just for the occassion...

Plum, what is LJ, please?

Re: video - haven't seen it yet, obviously can't stream it at work, but I do appreciate Eminem's form of art and how he uses it. I absolutely agree with Plum's assessment (again!). When Eminem is playing, as opposed to other rappers, I actually want to hear his words.

I think it is brilliant. But, I might be just a little biased.

But seriously, I think at his best, he is brilliant.

Though I am not a big rap fan I do respect Eminem, for he always gives his honest oppinion.

should we vote in black hoodies that have "BWW" written gangsta style on the back?
...cuz that'd be awesome

Hell yeah! You know what I'm sayin'? That would be keeping it real! A'ight? You feel me?

No--I can't pull that off. But a black hoodie would be fabulous!

Bump- here's a link to a non-streaming version of the video. Much better.
