Green Day American

Green Day-American band singing the American Idiot-are they addressing 80% of the population of Uncle Sam?

I reckon they are addressing all the dumbf*ckwits in that country who do not have a passport and who think that the marvellous Bruce Springsteen is being a patriotic redneck with his anthemic 'Born In The USA'-Yeah-80% will be about right then!!!
Good to be a Brit-where intelligence shines over the loud and crass any day.Oh,and where one of our troops is capable of doing what it would take a platoon of theirs to figure out!!

Song Meaning:
AMERICAN IDIOT
The title track of the album. Basically, there's a confused, disoriented, angsty kid wrapped around a world of misconception and he has nowhere to go and feels hopeless and miserable. So this kid, the Jesus of Suburbia, is just crying out an anthem for the world to hear, screaming miserably "Don't wanna be an American Idiot..." He sees that he's stuck in this 'redneck agenda' and there's not a damn thing he can do to change it.
