  • Anonymous from Guangdong, ChinaYo guys chill!!! Learn to appreciate Green Day's hard work!
    And even if you don't like this song, it's fine, just don't send crazy comments saying "i'd rather slam my body part in a car door than listen to this song".
    would you rather get injured or listen to something you don't like only once?
  • Jesse from OhioNot only their worst song ever, but one of the worst songs ever. Period. So bad. I'd rather slam my d--k in a car door than listen to this song
  • Hayes from Newark, OhGreat song, "Saint Jimmy" sang it to Johnny, I think he was referring to Whatsername(for trying to flush his drugs)

    for me, this song means "if you don't know that you are the reason your a total screw up, then you might was well kill yourself now. you are your own enemy"
  • Miles from West Linn, OrTheir worst song on the album as far as i'm concerned
  • [p3yt0n} from Somewhere, InIf he didnt repeat himslef all the time in this, it would be a great song. its still good though.
  • Scott from Reading, Palove this song
  • Amelia from Modesto, CaVery annoying song :/
    He repeats himself too much
  • Peter from Kc, MoThis song is very similar to Rage Against the Machines song with the same title. Rage's is far better however
  • Josh from Omaha, Nethis a good song this is why i like Green Day
  • Hunter from South West, MiThere are too many songs with this name. But Rage Against The Machine's is by far the BEST!
    Also, Greenday are losing the punk feel
  • Andrew from Lindenhurst, Nyi really don't like this song but i really don't like the pop- punk sound
  • Ben from Manchester, United KingdomGood awesome song :-) Hope the new album's good.
  • Ashley from Edmonton, AbI actually really like
    this song ;D
  • Matt from Houston, Txnicely punk driven. although a lot of post-american idiot fan will be dissapointed.
