American Idiot (Musical) Songs / Lyrics

(None of these songs belong to me!)

American Idiot is a Tony Award-winning musical based on the 2004 concept album of the same name by the American punk-rock band Green Day. American Idiot explores the themes of love, war, friendship, addiction and young parenthood. The story, expanded from that of the concept album, centers on three disaffected young men, Johnny, Will and Tunny. Johnny and Tunny flee a stifling suburban lifestyle and parental restrictions, while Will stays home to work out his relationship with his pregnant girlfriend, Heather. The former pair look for meaning in life and try out the freedom and excitement of the city. Tunny quickly gives up on life in the city, joins the military and is shipped off to war. Johnny turns to drugs and finds a part of himself that he grows to dislike, has a relationship and experiences lost love.
