And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
                                    G#5  Db5 F#5 Db5 G#5
The subliminal mindfuck America.

 Db5
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
 G#5
All across the alien nation.
 D#5                            G#5
Everything isn't meant to be okay.

Television dreams of tomorrow.

We're not the ones who're meant to follow.

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.
For that's enough to argue.
