Green Day call out Trump with "American Idiot" lyrics swap at iHeartRadio

Green Day previously went after the president of the U.S. back when George W. Bush was in office and it looks like they’re back at it again.

The band changed up the lyrics to their song “American Idiot,” originally written about Bush, taking aim at President Trump during their set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

During the band’s set, they changed up the lyrics from “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda.”

Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told us back when American Idiot was dropping that he felt Americans simply wanted George Bush out and his words feel just as relevant to the current political situation.

“People are so frightened right now. The only thing they wanna do is get this guy out of office, and that’s what the whole upcoming election is based on. But isn’t that scary within itself? You can’t vote with your heart this time, and it’s almost an overambition to go on your gut instinct.”

15 years on, Armstrong says in an interview with Kerrang that there are political themes on the band’s upcoming 13th album, Father of All…, which is due Feb. 7, 2020, but they’re not directly writing about Trump.

“I mean, I draw no inspiration from the President of the United States, because he’s just… there’s nothing,” he said. “Trump gives me diarrhoea, you know? I don’t want to write a song about it!”
