Take three chords that, when put together, form the most trite melody imaginable. Throw in some anarchy-by-numbers lyrics, ooh something like "Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy? Well *God* I know my enemy, wa-ooh". Repeat ad-nauseum. Forget to write a chorus.
And so begins part 2 of Green Day's laughable "political" phase. With this, like the equally impotent 'American Idiot', they rally hard against that which has earned them millions and allowed them to live like kings. It's every bit as believable as Phil Collins trying to empathise with the homeless. And every bit as odious.
But, like some wiser gents once said, "rebellion, it always sells at a profit".
