Musicians have used there music to send a there message and influence many people though there words. One common views that many musicians have sent out to the fans and people how listens there music. They share the views on politics and the society around them both good and bad. This has been going on since the 60’s till this day. One of the most recent songs to come out and share the view that rebellion against the government and today’s society would be American Idiot by the band Green Day. Here are the lyrics to the song.
“Don't want to be an American idiot.Don't want a nation under the new mediaAnd can you hear the sound of hysteria?The subliminal mind fuck 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.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.” The lyrics claiming that America is run by the media, and we as a society is made to believe what ever the media want you to believe in. "They turn us into idiots with no individuality. In this song, the narrator is saying that he doesn't want his nation to be turned into complete idiots, he doesn't want his country to be led by a redneck president ("I'm not a part of a redneck agenda"), doesn't want people to be convinced that it's right to hate someone because of their sexual preferences ("maybe I'm the faggot America"), doesn't want the nation to be isolated and detested because of stupid decisions that the government makes ("Welcome to a new kind of tension, all across the alienation")."
