Green Day really doesn’t care what the MAGATrumpers say! While I didn’t get to see them on New Years Eve, I’m sure they ROCKED! AND if they only changed that one phrase, those MAGAIdiots are lucky they didn’t slam them in the entire song!

Seeing as it’s somewhat of a protest song against Bush & the bullshit he pulled because of 9/11, the MAGAMorons shouldn’t be surprised or pissed off!

But I agree with Zappa, FUCK ‘EM!

I’m amazed there aren’t more songs directed at TraitorTrump or his minions/cult members. With all the outrageous & purely evil statements that spew from his mouth, there have been numerous opportunities to criticize the Man-Child & his policies!

It's almost like all the people up in arms over Green Day's political stance never actually listened to Green Day before! It's unbelievable! Wait until these same folks actually listen to the lyrics to "Born In the U.S.A." someday! There are numerous good reasons why we view these morons with such disdain and one of those reasons is their abject stupidity!

Actually, I can't find the Slaves album. At least not on Apple Music.

Hey Davut, I compile each week's playlist in Apple Music then use a free service called SongShift which automatically recreates the playlist for me on Spotify. In order to connect it to other services (like YouTube Music) I'd have to subscribe and pay a monthly fee which is something I can't afford right now—and time-wise, I can't affird to spend time to manually recreate the playlist on other services BUT! I will keep your request in mind and if I manage to gain a few more paid subscribers, I will look into adding this. Thank you for reading Zappagram! I'm really glad that you're here. :)
