FilmAdaptation Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 ^How's Maria political?Lyrics have some political overtones. Fighting power and other less powerful institutions.
clusterbomb Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 ^ ive always thought maria was political.but erm minority,american idiot and holiday
NickD Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 It depends on the politics. If you mean National Politics or Personal Poltiics. If you mean Personal, than pretty much all of their songs. If you mean National, then Holiday, American Idiot, Desensitized and Minority
redundantle Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Hmmm... I'd have to say that "Minority," "Holiday," and "American Idiot" are probably their most politically geared songs... But I had to agree with the last post that it all has to do with whether you want Nationally Political songs or Personally Political...
DisappearingBoy95 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Minority, Warning, Maria, Favorite Son, Governator, American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia, and Holiday.
nessa1416 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I don't know if it's really politically relevant, but no one's mentioned Maria.
Jose Luis Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 American Idiot, Holiday, Minoritythe same answers...
RevolutionRegained Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 oh yeah macy's day parade and fashion victim are very political towards society and media.I don't know if it's really politically relevant, but no one's mentioned Maria.have too.
kittenslayer Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Greenday's songs about politics are light weight tho.
**nobodylikesyou** Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 i guess the above mentioned songs, but in reality, i just dont find green day that political.
RevolutionRegained Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Greenday's songs about politics are light weight tho.sure they arent 'you gotta die for your government, thats shit' but they arent lightweight. hell i dont even think theres a lightweight version of political songs..either youir up front and telling it how it is or you arent saying it at all..
**nobodylikesyou** Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 well ok, if you are talking about society and media. then yeah. if you are talking about politics then not so much.
jesus the rage guy Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Minority, Warning, Maria, Favorite Son, Governator, American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia, and Holiday.dont forget macys' day paradeis about consumismall the songs they have about political subjects are great for me
whizzingbullet Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 AI and Holiday. And yeah, Macy's Day Parade
mbk Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 well ok, if you are talking about society and media. then yeah. if you are talking about politics then not so much.Society and media are political subjects. Anything that broadly affects society and and is within the bounds of government to affect through legislation or influence is political.
St_Jimmy815 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I always loved Macy's Day Parade. It's pretty but also kinda depressing if you listen to the lyrics. But I think Jesus of Suburbia is pretty political. The whole 'City of the Damned' part just seems very powerful to me because I looked up the lyrics to the song right around the time my school screened 'Invisible Children'. "City of the Damned/lost children with dirty faces today/no one really seems to care"
Russian paranoid Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 American Idiot (the title rulez)In some ways JOSHolidayMinorityWarningand favorite son)
Trotsky Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 How is Minority political?"I wanna be the minorityI don't need your authorityDown with the moral majorityCause I wanna be the minority"That whole chorus is political. Not very much lyrical effort, but still political.American Idiot (the title rulez)In some ways JOSHolidayMinorityWarningand favorite son)And you are all forgetting one of the most political songs they have: Letterbomb.Someone would have mentioned it by now I would have guessed.Greenday's songs about politics are light weight tho.Kittenslayer do you like Leftover Crack?
