Green Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up to a message of love
Choking up on the smoke from above
I'm obsessed with the poison and us
What a mess 'cause there's no one to trust

[Pre-Chorus]
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Huh-uh, count your money
Huh-uh, what's so funny?
There's a riot living inside of us

[Chorus]
I got paranoia, baby
And it's so hysterical
I'm crackin' up under the pressure
Looking for a miracle
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Lyin' in a bed of blood and money
Huh-uh, what's so funny?
We are rivals in the riot inside us
Uh-huh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I'm impressed with the presence of none
I'm possessed from the heat of the sun
Hurry up 'cause I'm making a fuss
Fingers up 'cause there's no one to trust
[Pre-Chorus]
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Huh-uh, count your money
Huh-uh, what's so funny?
There's a riot living inside of us

[Chorus]
I got paranoia, baby
And it's so hysterical
I'm crackin' up under the pressure
Looking for a miracle
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Lyin' in a bed of blood and money
Huh-uh, what's so funny?
We are rivals in the riot inside us

[Outro]
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Lyin' in a bed of blood and money
Huh-uh, what's so funny?
We are rivals in the riot inside us
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Lyin' in a bed of blood and money
Huh-uh, what's so funny?
We are rivals in the riot inside us
Uh-huh, yeah

If you've ever craved a break from the tension of a world in conflict, the new Green Day track, "Father of All..." might just be your escape. Released from an upcoming album of the same name, this rock anthem offers a new angle for Green Day, with no overt political messages, just pure rock fun. The band teamed up with Fall Out Boy and Weezer to announce "Hella Mega Tour," bringing renewed energy back into rock music for all.

About Father of All...

The track is quite simply, a song about not giving a damn. Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead vocalist for Green Day, sings about the chaos that is happening around him, painting a picture of riots and a world in turmoil. The chorus is catchy, and Armstrong refrains from his iconic punk voice in favor of a higher falsetto, bringing a fresh sound to the band. 

Unlike many Green Day tracks, "Father of All..." doesn't make any grandiose political statements but instead challenges the status quo by bringing back the roots of classic rock music. The band saw this as a way of celebrating the ballsy music of old that used to be commonplace on the radio. The song is about rediscovering the rebellious essence of rock music and reminding us of the thrill of having a good time.

Announced alongside Fall Out Boy's "Dear Future Self (Hands Up)" and Weezer's "The End of the Game," Green Day's "Father of All..." marks a new era for rock. The three bands are embarking on their joint tour, "Hella Mega," which will see them touring across the globe together. The American tour dates alone are taking place in major cities such as New York, DC, and LA, and will take place in top-notch stadium venues.

The song is a perfect anthem for this collaboration, as it celebrates the spirit of rock music, the spirit of not giving a damn and the love for a good time. Green Day has reinvented their style with a fresh take on rock music, signaling that great music is well and truly back. Armstrong's powerful vocals backed up by intense drumming and a bassline that catches the audience's attention make this track an instant classic.

"Father of All..." is an impactful rock song with a classic chord progression, that epitomizes the rebirth of rock music. With its ear-catching chorus, it's no surprise that this track has already topped charts around the world, and gained widespread positive feedback. Armstrong and the rest of the band have expertly blended their punk sound with a classic beat, and the result is a song that oozes fun and energy.

Green Day has a reputation for creating music that encourages us to question the injustices happening in the world, but "Father of All..." is a departure from this tradition. The song is a celebration of the punk spirit that has always driven the band's music forward. Armstrong's use of a higher falsetto adds an extra level of energy to the track, resulting in a sound that is just as fresh as it is exhilarating.

In short, "Father of All..." marks the rebirth of punk rock and is destined to become a classic. The single is well-positioned to reach not only Green Day's fan base but a broader audience looking for an escape from the troubles of the world. A new year is upon us, and with this track, there is a renewed sentiment that great music is not dead, in fact, it's very much alive.
