Good song and video but can get annoying if heard too much. 2nd UK top 10. UK#3 and Ireland#12.

A great rocking tune that I enjoy a little more now than what I did a couple of years ago.

It's not "Longview" but it's a pretty damn fun song.

Didn't like this much when it came out, but I have certainly warmed to it over time. It's short and packs a punch. I like it for that.

Quite funny and it's not bad.
****
Cool song but quite overrated. They have better.
****
It's good, but it feels like the weakest of the singles now. It's a shame it remains the album's signature song now without it really representing it's full musicality.

Very awesome song, I do agree they've had better but this is still great.

Very cool track with interesting lyrics to ponder upon.

find it their best

I would describe this as a catchy fast-paced punk rock song with punchy riffs and rapid drum beats. While I'm not exactly a fan of political music, I do think Green Day had a point in what they were expressing, but I'm not going to get into that.

I was too young to understand what this song was about at the time but I knew it was protesting/criticising something. Now that I'm older and know what the lyrics are about I really appreciate them and it's something that needs to be said. Especially so given we probably wouldn't have the current troubles in the Middle East if it weren't for the US invading Iraq. It's really catchy too and has a lot of energy to it. Very cleverly done. Really good and probably my favourite from them. I had always thought this was a bigger hit here though.

Quite overrated. Better stuff came from the Album.

This song that gave Green Day a new lease of life and gave them an entirely new fan base to target to. <br><br>
