There is no evidence that the Thin White Duke is directly responsible. Armstrong's lyrics are full of indignation, but there is also humour in play. The song, which is fueled by twin harmony guitars that recall Thin Lizzy, is one of the most memorable on an album that sticks to familiar punk-pop styles while still adding a few unexpected twists. Saviors is a step up from Father Of All..., a sad series of puerile gags and low on imagination. For the first time in 125 years, Green Day has been rejuvenated.

One of the best rock center moments ever was.'
