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.

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

We all feel that. America has been going downhill for such a long time. Sadly, the American Idiots of this country think if you speak up about it, it automatically means you hate America and should get out. They expect us all to just continue getting fucked and be happy about it.

[@1977mskt]

You people with the negative comments don't understand this band at all. There is an interview that they did recently, where they explain the meaning of this song. They talk about how THEY absolutely were able to achieve the ultimate American dream, 30 years ago! But now the American dream is unattainable to the average person. They see the struggles that people are going through, and how much harder it is just to survive. They weren't born millionaires. They got where they are with talent and luck. And they don't take their success for granted. They are involved with more charities than I can count. Musicians and songwriters sing about things that they are passionate about. When they see injustice happening, they are going to speak out about it.

[@juicesnap]

+. 100% agree. (The band is writing about injustices they are witnessing....it would be bad if they stopped writing about these things because it no longer "personally" affects them... Glad they are still calling out injustice, capitalism, America's stupidity for 20+ years. [Also f@ck all the ignorant haters])

[@dustinwatkins7843]

The American Dream isn't killing anyone... why don't they discuss the actual issues instead of making it sound like wanting a traditional successful life with a house and a family is somehow horrible. Sounds like you're the one who isn't getting it.

[@opheli411]

yes exactly, no one knows how they started, playing anywhere and everywhere🤷‍♀️ they had so much heart and talent and their story is really amazing they really worked for it

[@Blitze9792]

It's the same when you see them live! I've seen them a couple times now, and there's always more than the three of them on the stage, every single one of them still gets a mention and drawn attention to towards the end, when he goes 'give it up for...'

[@Briang93]

I got my first Green Day CD when I was 11. Now I’m 30 and it’s 6:00AM and I’m on my way to work in a factory for less than $18/hr and can honestly say THE AMERICAN DREAM IS KILLING ME

[@DebbieTDP]

In Italy it's 10,50 euro an hour as a factory worker , sometime less 😢...

[@dezinator69]

Dude fucking yes. Same here. Being 30 and waking up to this shit American dream. Green Day lead my disenfranchisement and now they continue to do so.

[@eviehammond9509]

...and just think in 32 more years ( your not even half way there) you can retire. Yup, the American dream is killing all of us!!😂

[@xuryous]

$200/month as a factory worker here in Indonesia, where the prices of electronic goods are the same throughout the world. That includes being pressured by superiors or colleagues, where in Indonesia the people are known to be friendly, which is not true, they are annoying. Easily jealous & jealous, just naturally other humans. So, selling/trading is a brilliant idea.

[@user-ug3ev7qo4s]

just having an average job isn't the american dream though. it isn't the dream killing you. i was in the same situation at 30 due to my own ignorance, denial, stupidity, fear, etc, but at $4.30/hr back then. your reason might be different, but for me it wasn't the american dream's fault. it was mine.

[@kaitlyngault3987]

You haven't seen them?!?! 😮 I got to see them twice on the American Idiot tour. I got my dad to take me to one in Toronto in November 2004. I forgot my CD in his car. He prompted my brother to go buy me a new one, as mine was commendered. August 2005 they actually came to my crappy city (Barrie). I didn't have a -choice- about attending one. (These are both in Ontario, Canada. ) My dad died two years ago due to alcoholism. I had to leave his side to attend rehab. Holiday is the song I listened to before his funeral. Literally before I could have the strength to walk through the doors. It was his favourite. I shared my love of Green Day with my daddy, & it only made our love stronger. ❤ Green Day os the gift that just keeps on giving.

My first album was warning when I was 11..that sent me down the rabbit hole of the Green Days discography. Been on of my favorite bands since then. I’m 30 and I still blast Green Day with pride. Such nostalgic tunes for me. The only album I didn’t like was “father of all mother f***ers” This album brought me back to warning and nimrod.. so good!! Also I notice a lot of 30 year olds in the comments. We were born between the era of kerplunk and dookie, by the time we bought our first album we had a plethora of Green Day songs to delve into. Yea we were a bit late to enjoy them live in the 90s but this band is still nostalgic to us. I felt like I’ve known this band since I was born. I’m sure y’all know what I mean. They will forever be my top band that I hold dear and near to my heart. I almost had a panic attack when I won tickets to Kevin and beans last breakfast with Green Day. Front row and only like 100 people. Best show of my life..
