American Idiot, chapter 1
[u]Prologue[/u]
I'm sure many of you have and listened to the whole American Idiot album, but I doubt many of you new fans know that there is a story behind it. I am going to tell you that story now, the story of a boy named Jesus of Suburbia. Enjoy.
***
This is a typical morning for Jesus of Suburbia (but we'll just call him Jesus for now), walking to the local 7-11 to have coffee with the underbelly.
"Hey guys," said Jesus.
"Hey Jesus," one of the male members said to Jesus.
"El Presidenté made another speech last night," said another member rolling his eyes.
Jesus made a sarcastic grin on his face,"Well isn't that a shame. I missed it! Well I wish I[ would've saw it." Then he made a madder, more serious look on his face. "I'm tired of living in a country run by some clueless redneck who can't even say the word nuclear right. For God's sake he can't even talk straight!" Jesus pulled his cheeks down and pretended to be the president. "Well...um....we are...winning, the war...in Iraq. And we are absolutely sure...that the Iraqis...do not have...n-n-nucular weapons."
The rest of the underbelly laughed at Jesus' joke.
Then Jesus frowned and said, "It's not funny. This is goddamn serious guys. If this guy keeps running this country we're probably all going to get bombed and die. This dude's worse than [i]Nixon[/i[ for God's sake."
Jesus gave a disappointed look at the rest of the underbelly and threw his coffee intp the trashcan. Then he walked away from the 7-11 towards home.
