Great song on one of the best albums of all time, in my opinion of course. Having a Blast my favourite on the album! 👌🏻

I'm surprised Green Day isn't in the hall of fame, they have so many great tunes. This song, Good Riddance, American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Brain Stew, Jaded, Holiday, Longview, 21 Guns, She, even some of their newer stuff is alright like Revolution Radio.
