Sounds Its 'Warning' For Second Single

Yahoo! Music, Nov 20, 2000 10:00 am PST
(11/20/00, 10 a.m. ET) - Green Day will follow up the single "Minority" with the title track to is latest album, Warning. The acoustic-driven rocker taps into the trio's longstanding punk mindset. As frontman Billie Joe Armstrong sings: "Question everything/Or shut up and be the victim of authority."

Armstrong explained to LAUNCH, "The song is about, pretty much, disobeying laws and breaking rules," he said. "You know, there's these false sense of freedoms and stuff that America seems to have sometimes, and that's sort of what the song is about."

A video for "Warning" was recently shot in San Francisco. For the clip, the group enlisted the help of director Francis Lawrence, whose resume includes work with Third Eye Blind, Aerosmith, Lauryn Hill, and Jennifer Lopez.
