East Jesus Nowhere -- Green Day

• Song: East Jesus Nowhere
• Artist: Green Day
• Album: 21st Century Breakdown
• Rating: 4 1/2 Stars

21st Century Breakdown is the most recent album released by punk rock band Green Day. One of the many incredible songs on the album is East Jesus Nowhere. So why hasn't it been released as a single?

East Jesus Nowhere is one of the most controversial songs Green Day has released in the past five years. The song has a clear and simple theme: the hypocrisy of religion, specifically looking at Christianity. In the song, Armstrong strikes a particularly controversial note when he sings, "a fire burns today, of blasphemy and genocide. The sirens of decay, will infiltrate the faith fanatics."

Lyrics aside, the song is impeccably performed, with an incredible style and music to match. East Jesus Nowhere is one of the album's best songs, but with lyrics so controversial, it is unlikely to be heard on the radio anytime soon.

* Billie Joe Armstrong is the lead singer, guitarist, and primary lyricist for Green Day.
