Green Day, Saviors (Édition De luxe) [📷: Green Day / Reprise]“Fuck off / Fuck off / Just F-U-C-K O-F-F, fuck off.” Fuck yeah, Green Day 🖕🖕! “Fuck Off” is the 18th track from the legendary, punk rock band’s 2005 album, Saviors (édition de luxe). Band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool wrote “Fuck Off” while Armstrong and Rob Cavallo produced it. The title is in your face, as is the chorus, excerpted above in all its fuckin’ glory! It’s not all f-bombs for Billie Joe Armstrong and company, though they seem to give few of ‘em – fucks that is.  Yes, the chorus is ‘fucked up,’ but the verses and bridge avoid the fucks (I’m doing too much, I know 😝).

“Sucker, you’re a sucker / You’ve been suckered by hustlers and liars,” Armstrong asserts in the first verse. In the second, he characterizes them as stupid: “Undisputed, the madness and your babble /… Stick your Bible and shove it up – ” Hmm, it’s not difficult to finish the line.  So, who is Armstrong addressing? MAGA supporters.  Unapologetic to the nth degree, Billie Joe, who has never been shy regarding politics, tells them all to “fuck off,” colorfully offering a variation at the end: “Fuck off / Fuck off / Just F-U-C-K Y-O-U, fuck off.” Woo! Although brief (just over two minutes long), Armstrong and Green Day make their point loud and fuckin’ clear on “Fuck Off”.  Billie Joe is aggressive vocally, his guitar roars, Dirnt’s bass drives, and Cool’s drums pummel in the spirit of protest.  ‘Merica 🇺🇸!
