Billie Joe Armstrong says you won’t find any songs about Donald Trump on Green Day’s upcoming album Father of All…
Armstring tells Kerrang, “I mean, I draw no inspiration from the President of the United States, because he’s just…there’s nothing. Trump gives me diarrhea, you know? I don’t want to write a song about it!”
However, Armstrong says the album’s lyrics do draw inspiration from what Americans are going through. “It’s coming from a place of feeling like you’re out of control, and you’re not in charge of your own body anymore. It paints pictures or vignettes of what life is like for me and for other people that, I feel like, are desperate. And I mean that in an empathetic way, where people in America have become very desperate with their situations. There’s factories being shut down, gentrification [and more].”
Father of All…is due out February 7th.
