Fag, Redneck all on American idiot

But not "nigger". To be honest, those words aren't as taboo in society as nigger is. So those words would not stir protest against this album.

I really hope that the song is going to be compared more to John Lennon's "Woman is the Nigger of the World" though rather than being condemned.

I haven't read the lyrics for it yet, but I'm sure they would NEVER say anything meaning to be that way, ya know? I'm sure it won't be condemned. GD aren't a bunch of racists, they hate that shit. If 'nigger' is in there, there's a reason. A good one. It's a very, unfortunately, common word down here in the South. I'm anxious to read these lyrics...

well, yes. And it's not like he's saying "Kill all the niggas. White Supremacy" kind of thing, he's using it as an element of the history, one that's on the street and has a double standard. I think it's more or less like a protest, not against the word, but the attitude

Billie did say that there would be things people probably wouldn't agree with on the album.

It wasn't so much that the actual words were offensive, it was more that the meaning of the songs were things that Mid-West America were not going to agree with, the thoughts and feelings behind the words.

What happened to March of the Dogs? Does anyone know if the name just changed or if it just got taken out?

It's changed to East Jesus Nowhere

Yeah, I know. It's just people's perceptions of the songs that may be wrong and some may take it for racism.

It's pretty much the entire south and Mid-West regions that are more conservative. Once you get to the coasts people tend to be more open-minded and liberal.

people have been using the word nigger in music forever. you guys act like billie is the first person to use it. jesus christ. i still think the best use of it was patti smith's "rock and roll nigger" and when marilyn manson cover that song omg it was the best fucking thing. that song makes mass hysteria sound like a childs song.

The site looks wicked cool.

What they posted still doesn't clarify the words after "Well, gotta know the enemy" in Know Your Enemy :/ If it's worth another guess, my mom thinks it's "they're here" as in, the enemy is here. Makes sense to me. It's another theory to be thrown around if it hasn't been already.

It is like in Armatage Shanks, after the second chorus, on the Bridge, I'm still trying to figure out what are they saying. Also, on Jinx, on the last part of the song. :D

Well honestly if they're going to misinterpret the lyrics and mistake Billie's writing for racism, what are they doing buying and listening to the album? I'm sorry but if they don't get it...well I think Green Day have the wrong mentality for them and they shouldn't even try to criticise it.

So, the album's acts start decreasing the number of songs on it (considering American Eulogy as one song, just divided) 7, 6, and 5 songs.
