Green Day (my favorite rock band) is the luminous conscience of America taking aim at Trump in this brilliant new lyric video. DO NOT MISS THIS. Please WATCH IT HERE.

Play “Troubled Times” full blast instead of watching the con-artist on Inauguration Day.

Green Day has given us the anthem of resistance.

Spread the word!

Resist!

A Trump-like figure wearing a red “Make America Great Again” cap spews hate rhetoric to crowds from a podium in the new clip for “Troubled Times,” which the band fittingly posted online on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

WATCH

Green Day Troubled Times is track no. 10 from the 2016 Green Day album “Revolution Radio”.

Troubled Times lyrics

What good is love and peace on earth?
When it’s exclusive?
Where’s the truth in the written word?
If no one reads it
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don’t blink twice

We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times

What part of history we learned
When it’s repeated
Some things will never overcome
If we don’t seek it
The world stops turning
Paradise burning
So don’t think twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times

We run for cover
Like a skyscraper’s falling down
Then I wander like a troubled mind

What good is love and peace on earth?
When it’s exclusive
Where’s the truth in the written word?
If no one reads it
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don’t look twice

We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
