​Green Day Unleashes Punk Chaos with “Smash It Like Belushi” Ahead of Deluxe ‘Saviors’ Release

Green Day has dropped a new track titled “Smash It Like Belushi”, the latest addition to the deluxe edition of their 2024 album, Saviors. The expanded release, Saviors (Édition De Luxe), is set to arrive on May 23, 2025, and will feature seven extra tracks, including acoustic versions of “Suzie Chapstick” and “Father To A Son”, alongside unreleased songs like “Stay Young”, “Fuck Off”, “Ballyhoo”, and “Underdog”.

“Smash It Like Belushi” channels Green Day’s signature punk energy: raw, loud, and unrelenting. With its pounding rhythms and punchy hooks, fans have already likened the track to the band’s earlier anthems, drawing comparisons to “Know Your Enemy” for its no-holds-barred delivery.

A high-octane anthem that channels John Belushi’s chaotic legacy

Lyrically, the song is a chaotic joyride through rebellion, disillusionment, and full-throttle defiance. It plays like a frenzied montage of American burnout, with images of broken windows, ghost towns, and side shows flickering by in rapid succession. The song’s title appears to reference the late comedian John Belushi, known for his rebellious and spirited persona, aligning with the track’s high-energy vibe.

There’s more than just noise, though. Beneath the adrenaline lies a restless existential current. Lines like “just keep on runnin’ before learning how to crawl” evoke a society always in motion yet never truly grounded—too busy staying alive to figure out how to live. It’s the soundtrack of a generation both wired and worn out, clinging to movement as a form of survival.

This isn’t polished rebellion. It’s punk catharsis in its messiest, most unfiltered form. Like much of Saviors, “Smash It Like Belushi” doesn’t aim for perfection, it aims to feel. And in that noise, Green Day once again finds clarity through chaos, throwing the punch and grinning through the wreckage.

For those who wants to hear the song firsthand, the song is available on Youtube.

Green Day – “Smash It Like Belushi” Lyrics

[Verse]
Feeling like a melee
Today
Smash it like Belushi
Ah yeah
Doing the Watusi
Aaaah
Looking trigger happy

Everybody panic!
Lose it!
Semi-automatic
Ah yeah
Kicking in a window
Aaah
Murder in the front row

[Chorus]
I got my clothes from the dead man’s closet
I’m swinging low
And I rise to the call
I keep on truckin’
And keep my head in motion
Just keep a runnin’
Before learning how to crawl

[Verse]
Feeling like a riot
Violence
Screaming out in silence
Ah yeah
Living in a break down
Aaaah
Living in a ghost town

Stranded in Vallejo
Let’s go!
Hiding from a side show
Aaaah
Smashing in a window
Oh no!
Reading guns and ammo

[Chorus]
I got my clothes from a dead man’s closet
I’m swinging low
And I rise to the call
I keep on truckin’
And I keep my head in motion
Just keep a runnin’
Before learning how to crawl

[Bridge]
When you’re hanging in the mire
Bankrupt from the low
We got peace, love and hell fire

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
I got my clothes from the dead man’s closet
I’m swinging low
And I rise to the call
I keep on truckin’
And I keep my head in motion
Just keep a runnin’
Before learning how to crawl
I got my clothes from the dead man’s closet
I’m swinging low
And I rise to the call
I keep on truckin’
And I keep my head in motion
Just keep a runnin’
Before learning how to crawl

[Outro]
Smash it like Belushi
Smash it like Belushi
Smash it like Belushi
Smash it like Belushi
