ok i was rewriting "American Idiot" to make it "Canadian Idiot". Now before you say im racist or whatever, REMEMBER GREEN DAY!! I have nothing against most canadians.

All that said, do yall have any suggestions for it? I still need a second verse.

Y'all Canadians are a bunch of idiots
You think Canada is better than America
Well i've got some news for you Canada
The reason for your existence is America

(Chorus)
I've got some new information
For you the Canadian nation
We are the reason you're okay
Without us there'd be no tomorrow
We are the ones that you should follow
Cause were not working for you

Yeah, any suggestions for the second verse?

umm..yeah ok. The song makes USA superior. Which we are not.. since we waste so much paper and i could go on. And all the nations rely on each other.

That is dumb...and untrue...but I have beefs with the actual 'American' idiot song anyhow, so whateva...

Yeah, any suggestions for the second verse?

yup, don't bother writing it. And mellow out on the negative new thread starting please...

My suggestion is that you leave the song writing to Green Day.

well Green Day doesnt seem to be doing a very good job

And neither (no offense...well maybe a little bit) are you...

Hm, I think I'm going to try and be quiet this time.

*pats kevin on the back* It's okay man, can't expect everyone to understand the politics of it.

well Green day, is way too "anti" everything, it seems like they try to get attention, by yelling out stupid phrases, like, "American Idiot". I just can't stand them, for all of their anti-America crap.

It's not "anit-American." It's simply their statement on politics and the way they feel the world looks today.

uh, dude, that's not very nice.
You may not like Canada, but if you ever sing that song in public, you may get stoned.

Check out "Macy's Day Parade" and "Hold On" from their WARNING CD and then we'll talk about whether or not Green Day doesn't "do a good job" writing lyrics.

c'mon Green Day made their new album for money... I don't like that at all (no offense to Anyone)

That's why everyone makes new albums, bright eyes.

I like Green Day and all, but the song American Idiot is kinda dumb to me cause I feel they touch on all the wrong things and there's already way to freaking many anti/bash america/american things and it just feels cliche. Also, it's REALLY short and not even that great of a song overall in the end...

Oh, and I just re-read that Canada thing and felt the need to re-iterate that that's bullcrap...

uh, dude, that's not very nice.

um i DO like Canada. It was one of my Canadian friends who suggested i rewrite it like this.

and if youll notice, Green Day sings American Idiot all the time and they havent seen a single stone

I'd stone them if I got the chance. I find that song dishonorable for the country that made them who they are.

Ditto, except I think I'd throw in some boulders, and maybe a log or two, as well.

or maby a skillet a big cast iron one hahaha

are any of us without sin that we should throw stones?

Well, you know I do have a Rottweiler that leaves presents all around the yard... so I could throw those at them. They aren't stones, then again I guess it would depend on how old they are...

Moving on, (as I am sure I might get a slap on the wrist for that... ehm.)

Yeah, I don't like this song. I don't even see why they air it on mtv or the radio.

Well, I'm sorry I made the previous comment, but you made it sound like you hate canada.
Once again, I'm sorry

um i DO like Canada. It was one of my Canadian friends who suggested i rewrite it like this.

um, the thing is, Green Day is American. you, my friend, are not Canadian. if you sing a song bashing your own country, it's one thing. if you sing a song bashing another country, it's completely different. :-\

since this thread really has no merit and no visible redeeming value, i'm gonna lock it. any further discussion of "American Idiot" could be made into a Green Day thread. but remember, there are people who enjoy Green Day so be nice in how you say you dislike a song or a group. :)
