“It’s about the culture of mass shooting that happens in America mixed with narcissistic social media,” said Billie Joe Armstrong to Rolling Stone. “There’s this sort of rage happening, but it’s also now being filmed and we all have ourselves under surveillance.”
The single is from Revolution Radio, Green Day's first album in nearly four years. The 12-track record will mesh political themes with more personal ones.
"I can only go from my own personal life, but this is the most chaos I've ever seen in an election," said Armstrong. "It's just so freaky. I don't want to add more of the outrage or anger. I'd just try try to reflect it."
The Oakland-based group also hinted at a tour this fall. Stay tuned.
