AMERICAN LITERATE

Don't wanna be a literature idiot
I better go do some of my reading
Turn off the TV, turn off the stereo
A book can take me wherever I wanna go

Sick and tired of playing Playstation
I wanna use my imagination
Where I can be a wizard or solve a crime
Television just can't fulfill me
A book can make me whoever I wanna be
Oh, won't you read a book too

I wanna be a reading American
I wanna go and read all the books I can
Hey can you hear the sound of pages turning?
A good book is what I am yearning

Chorus

Don't wanna be an American Idiot
Wanna know how to read and be literate
Books can be fun and books can be scary
I wanna go to the library

Chorus
