Green Day - The American Dream Is Killing Me (Official Music Video)

Saviors is an invitation into Green Day’s brain, their collective spirit as a band, and an understanding of friendship, culture and legacy of the last 30 plus years.

It's raw and emotional. Funny and disturbing. It’s a laugh at the pain, weep in the happiness kind of record.

Honesty and vulnerability.

What is Saviors about, you ask?

Power pop, punk, rock, indie triumph. disease, war, inequality, influencers, yoga retreats, alt right, dating apps, masks, MENTAL HEALTH, climate change, oligarchs, social media division, free weed, fentanyl, fragility,,..

What would Andy Warhol do?
What would John Waters do?
What would Quentin Tarantino do?

What would GREEN DAY do?

LYRICS

The American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of conspiracy 
The American dream is killing me
 
Send out an SOS
It’s getting serious 
Bulldoze your family home
Now it’s a condo
 
We are not home
Are we not home
God damn I am so grateful 
Forever faithful to
 
The American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
 
People on the street 
Unemployed and obsolete 
Did you ever learn to read the ransom note 
 
Don’t want no huddled masses 
TikTok and taxes
Under the overpass
Sleeping in broken glass
 
We are not well
Are we not well
Cracked up into the wild
We’re pedophiles for 
 
The American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of insanity 
The American dream is killing me 
 
From sea to shining sea
Whitewashed upon the beach 
My country under siege 
On private property 
 
We are not home
Are we not home
Kiss me I’m dead inside 
Who needs suicide
 
When the American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of insanity 
The American dream is killing me
