The American Dream is Killing Me (Green Day)

When I was growing up watching MTV I had this dream of sharing my favorite music videos with people. So, since I’m sharing things that motivate me and make me happy, I’m going to do just that!

I’ve been feeling incredibly depressed and defeated recently. Green Day has been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid and this song helped begin to pull me out of the funk I’ve been in, at least ever so slightly. This song gets me fucking fired up! Thank you, Green Day. The zombie film music video is fun, too. Billie Joe Armstrong playing a guitar solo to a group of zombies is amazing. Chef smooch. I’m including my favorite bit of the lyrics.

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

Sleepin' in broken glass

We are not well
