What Parents Need to Know
About "Know Your Enemy" (CD Single)
Parents need to know that this high-powered, highly political tune rallies against apathy, the media, and war, without resorting to some of the more colorful language of Green Day's past songs. While this song is clean, the upcoming album does have a parental advisory warning.
