Green Day Release New Song ‘One Eyed Bastard’

Green Day have dropped a new song, ‘One Eyed Bastard’, which will appear on their upcoming album Saviors. It follows previous offerings ‘Dilemma’, ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’, and ‘Look Ma, No Brains!’. Listen below.

“’One Eyed Bastard’ started off as just a riff that I had – a shuffle, almost like a Black Sabbath kind of riff,” Billie Joe Armstrong explained in a statement. “Lyrically, I was just reflecting on bad times in life. That’s the thing about nostalgia, sometimes you think, ‘That was an awful time.’ Everybody’s got that ugly place in their life where they have to deal with ugly thoughts – it could be like revenge or whatever. Thankfully, I have an outlet in songwriting.”

Saviors, Green Day’s 14th studio album, arrives on January 19.
