Green Day takes on the American dream in ‘Back in the USA’

/ 07:48 PM November 19, 2017

Green Day has just released a greatest hits album that includes the brand-new track “Back in the USA”, which has now been given the video treatment with a black-and-white satire of the American dream.

The video opens on a 1950s-style scene of American life, complete with lawn-mowing, sweater vests and waving neighbors. Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong grabs a copy of the newspaper, headlined “Presidential Address Tomorrow,” and heads inside before getting a visit from a traveling sunglasses saleswoman who changes his outlook on his seemingly idyllic lifestyle.
