During a New Year’s Eve performance of their hit song « American Idiot, » legendary punk band Green Day changed its lyrics to take a shot at former President Trump and his followers.
Playing the 2004 hit for « Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve » on ABC Sunday night, the band changed the lyrics of the second verse for the MAGA take down.
Though lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong appeared to garble the lyrics, multiple outlets reported that he sang, « I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda, » instead of the original, « I’m not a part of the redneck agenda. »
Either way, the words « MAGA agenda » could be clearly made out during the performance, which appeared to elicit cheers from the audience.
The song was written as a protest of American culture in the post-9/11 era, with verses summing up the band’s discontent with the country.
