Green Day Had A Very Blunt, Expletive-Laden Message For Ted Cruz At Their Latest Concert

Pop punk band Green Day–no stranger to political statements–had a very blunt, expletive-laden message for Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz at their latest concert.

During a performance in Berlin, Germany, the band—best known for songs like "Basket Case," "Longview," "When I Come Around" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"—performed in front of a sign that declared "F**K Ted Cruz."




Green Day's message to Cruz comes as the Texas Republican continues to face scathing criticism for his response to last month's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

Cruz was swiftly rebuked after suggesting schools would be safer if there were fewer exits and if more armed officers were stationed inside school buildings.

Bang! Bang! Gimme fame!
Shoot me up to entertain
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
You're dead! I'm well fed!
Give me death or gimme head
Broadcasting from my room, and playing with my toys
