Type the lyrics to “American Idiot” by Green Day

Green Day's punk anthem is fast, sharp, and short, with punchy, shouted lines. Its driving tempo makes it a great speed session, and the compact length keeps it from ever feeling like a slog.

Based on its natural singing speed, this track sits in the “brisk” range, a quick pace that pushes solid typists to keep up. You can slow the video down or turn on Easy mode (which drops capitals and punctuation) to make it more approachable, or type at full speed to test yourself.

The full lyrics run to roughly 180 words, making it a medium-length session. Repetition in the chorus means you'll drill the same words several times, which is exactly how typing speed on common words improves.
