Green Day's average enemy

Green Day
"Know Your Enemy" single
Released: April 16th, 2009






Opening with a bombastic drum beat, "Know Your Enemy," sets out to be Green Day's triumphant return since 2004's "American Idiot." And in many ways, it is... except the political nature of the lyrics don't carry as much weight as they did under the Bush administration. Green Day's long-time fascination with anti-war rhetoric is assuredly still relevant, considering the USA is still active in Iraq. The topic just isn't as edgy anymore. However, Green Day has crafted a catchy rock anthem that will rank alongside their greatest hits. With an anti-establishment, fist-raising chorus and power chords galore, "Know Your Enemy" is sure to charge to the top of the rock charts.
