I wish this song could be the next single, but all the f-bombs will prevent that I'm sure...
It brings up an interesting point though, CxLTxN, that there is a kit of parts that Green Day songs always seem to fit into. It's brought me to a theory that I now believe in because of what I've heard over the last 20 years. Green Day remains so accessible because of the fact they use simple rock chord progressions infused with energy that no one else can match. But they acclaim fame based on the layering of sophisticated commentary underneath that basic musicianship. The match of music and lyrics is unparalleled by any other rock band out there right now.
"Almost only really counts in horseshoes and hand grenades" is a cliche, but it comes to life in the energy of this song.
I love how he spells Gloria's name at the end. It sounds like a cautionary tale of anarchy.

you know they could put up "messin around" or "playin around" or just edit it like they editied "faggot" did in American Idiot.

they could do that but that would get rid of the bit of 'ummmph' that this song has.
