Green Day Share Preview of New Track - Digital Noise Magazine

Green Day has something new and jaunty up their sleeves.

The band recently shared what appears to be a preview of a new song and its accompanying music video. The grizzly video shows zombies making a feast out of some unfortunate humans. This happens while an upbeat melody plays in the background. Lyrics to the song sing, ” The American dream is killing me/The American dream is killing me/When it’s all double-talk of insanity…” before cutting out.

The new track is clearly called “The American Dream is Killing Me.” (Side note: Take a number!) Whether this means a new album is on the way is unknown, but we’ll likely find out sooner than later.

Green Day is headlining the When We Were Young festival taking place this weekend in Las Vegas along with blink-182.

Green Day: Top 40 Songs Ranked

Back in the early ‘90s, when Lollapalooza and MTV’s “120 Minutes” were the barometers of cool, you would have been excused for laughing if someone told you that Green Day would be one of a handful of bands of that era to stay relevant for two decades and would also get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

But the band who got famous from singing about being bored and stoned exceeded all expectations through soul, ambition and sheer songwriting chops. We ranked their 40 best songs from their days on indie label Lookout! Records through the new tracks from Father Of All… including radio hits, deeper cuts and even a few things from their side-projects. What’d we miss?
