Misheard Green Day Lyrics

Recommended Posts

"Don't want a nation under the new media" I heard "Don't want a nation to die the new media"

Sorry to disappoint but it is actually "Don't want a nation under the new mania"

Nope. It's definitely "Don't want a nation under the new media".

i thought that, too, but then i looked up the lyrics in the booklet of the album and it actually is "Don't want a nation under the new mania"

Yeah, but booklets can have mistakes. Like, in the Danger Days booklet, they spell "capital", "capitol". It'd be an easy mistake to write "mania" instead of "media".

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but listen closley to the studio version and the BIAB version. It sounds way more like "media" than "mania".

But I guess I could be hearing it wrong...

I hear Mania on the album version, but Media on the live albums so I assumed it's Mania, but maybe he has changed it after the release of the album and now sings Media.

It's just another Green Day mystery :D

yeah i know, but i actually don't think that it's a mistake this time ;) ...but i agree: it sounds like "media"...and i thought it means "media" for the last years and just looked it up, cos everyone here wondered what's the right lyrics, and when i looked it up, there stood "mania"...and i mean, mania and media almost sound the same :D

Even I am quite sure that its media.

idk...i've heard that for years..and sang it and when i looked it up and it said mania i was quite shocked :D so maybe you're right ;)

haha yeah maybe

yep, a new GD mystery

...we maybe should put all lyrics mysteries together and if we ever get the chance to meet them, we could ask them :D (or the ppl who meet them could ask them...if we don't meet them xD)

I've always heard media...

Still on the topic of American Idiot, I used to hear "demolish all dreams of tomorrow" instead of "television dreams of tomorrow".

When American Idiot plays they hold up the cards with the lyrics, at 1:58ish mike's card for the line "Don't want a nation under the new Mania" says mania and i've always heard it as mania. hope that helps :)

thanks :) yeah that helps :) ...and now i understood mania, too :lol: (but maybe cos i always understand what i wanna hear :ninja: )

It took me 3 years before I realized that in Boulevard of Broken Dreams he was saying "I walk alone, I walk alone" and not "I wear cologne, I wear cologne".

Listen to it.

It sounds like "I wore cologne" not "I wear cologne" surely? That's an all time classic up there with "broken gnomes" :D

In minority, my cousin and i always thought "Down with the moral majority" was "down with the bore of maturity" and we tagged those lyrics on the back wall of the grocery store :lol:

In christian inferno, I thought it was "melt away" instead of "man to ape" ._. and "Desperado of the night" instead of "This Berretta" in Peacemaker. I KNOW.
