The American Dream is Killing Me - Green Day - Lyrics

“The American Dream is Killing Me” is a powerful rock anthem that showcases Green Day’s dislike of the American way of life; it has subtle nods to the housing crisis, unemployment, and social media, as well as the troubled political landscape the United States of America has undergone in the 2020s. This song, which is the lead single from Green Day’s 14th album Saviors, had been teased several months in advance by the band and played in whole in a pop-up concert in Las Vegas just before the When We Were Young Festival.
