Green Day's uber-political rock opera makes national debut on the Grammys

its a good song.
even if im not a fan of green day you have to admit this sure beats simon cowells haiti song..

I'll always like Greenday. I've been listening to them since i was a wee kid! their for sure, one of the reasons I got into Punk. Them and the Clash.

Well, that's it. I'm torching my copy of 'Dookie'.

So what, it's not like anyone watching the Grammys realized this.

This is not the best representation of an anarchist band, nor a great ninties band at that."Hail to the Thief" Radiohead was actually in the forefront of the anti-bush movement as far as music goes and yes, the new mainsteam music of the past decade sucks ass! All the great new bands are off the radar, unfortunately.

I hated this song until I read the words ...

Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

it's not better if you make a "rock opera" a second time.
stick to 1990s green day.

I did enjoy their performance, but I enjoyed the Tribute to Michael Jackson better as well as PINK's water spin performance.

Someone give those 40 year old guys more eyeliner!

green day has the same level of socio-political relevance as hello kitty. did their major record label put this story out?

I'm usually not a fan of broadway type musicals but I thought they kicked ass!!

Green Day is punk?
