There's A New Green Day Song

The legendary punks' new video takes a massive swipe at the American Dream.

November 17, 2017

Green Day have released a video for their new song, Back In The USA, which is lifted from their Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band album.

The tune is freshly recorded for the release, which also features a new rendition of Ordinary World featuring country singer Miranda Lambert.

In true Green Day fashion, the video is a satirical piece taking a swipe at the American Dream, depicting Donald Trump as a kind of zombie monster. Apt.

Enjoy:

Political, fun and slightly freaky? That's Green Day doing what they do best.

Their Greatest Hits album is out today and you can listen to it in its entirety below:
