• This is a really catchy song. Like all the singles on American Idiot, it does not advance the story a lot. This is the most political song on the album. It's also one of the catchiest. This song is more anti-Bush than "American Idiot". There are anti-war references, protests against the anger against gays and French people (I'm not making a comparison by putting the two groups next to each other). It doesn't directly protest, but it is blatantly subtle. Any way, good song. The meaning is obvious. It doesn't do a lot for the plot of the album, but it's a catchy single designed to get radio air time and get people to buy the album. ---------------------------------- Some more comments related to the story. Following the introduction of Jesus of Suburbia, he becomes increasingly aware of the world around him. In this song, he sees the problems with war and the government.
