Green Day drops 'Troubled Times' video in case it wasn't clear how they feel about Trump

A head on fire topped with a "Make America Great Again" hat haunts Green Day's lyric video for their Revolution Radio track, "Troubled Times."

Releasing the song on Martin Luther King Jr. Day is no accident -- the video features footage of the Civil Rights hero and the March on Washington in 1963 as well as images from the suffrage movement. Green Day wants to make it clear they're not going to stay silent while Donald Trump reverses the progress made by these people.

“Today we celebrate love and compassion more than ever,” said Billie Joe Armstrong in a press release.
