Green Day skips lyrics calling out Donald Trump during Super Bowl performance as viewers issue complaint

Green Day opened Super Bowl LX with a medley of their biggest songs, ending with American Idiot. Viewers quickly noticed something missing: the band skipped a well-known lyric from the song that has been politically charged in recent years.

Originally, the line was “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda.” In recent performances, Green Day changed it to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda,” directly criticizing Donald Trump. During the Super Bowl performance, however, the band avoided the moment altogether by not singing that part of the song, seemingly steering clear of controversy.

Many UK viewers didn’t even get to see the performance properly. Channel 5’s broadcast of the Super Bowl reportedly showed little of Green Day’s opening, leading to complaints that the performance “didn’t show it.”

Despite the Super Bowl omission, the band has remained outspoken elsewhere. At a Super Bowl pre-party, Billie Joe Armstrong addressed ICE agents directly, saying: “Quit that s**y job you have… they’re gonna drop you like a bad f*****g habit.” He also dedicated Holiday to Minneapolis, referencing the deaths of two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, killed by federal agents.

At the same event, Green Day altered another lyric from American Idiot, changing “the representative from California has the floor” to “the representative from Epstein Island has the floor.”

Donald Trump skipped the Super Bowl this year and criticized the musical lineup, saying: “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”
