Has anyone seen the new Green Day video they have out for the upcoming new CD the song title is American Idiot or Idiots not to sure quite the song if you ask me especially for them. It even had an american flag painted on a large wall that they run water down and destroy the flag. If you have not seen it look for it and let me know what you think of it. I am sure it is going to set off a few people.

very controversial -- here are the expurgated lyrics:


GREEN DAY LYRICS

"American Idiot"

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation that 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 alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Convincing them to watch too.

Well maybe I'm the ****** 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.
Convincing them to watch too.

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.
Convincing them to watch too.

Yep that is the song I wonder how long it will be before there is an uproar to get it banned from the airways. I am sure the song will sell tonnes of cd's in other countries but I can see it being frowned upon in the US. If you watched the video what did you think of it?
