The Instant Karma: Save Darfur comp’s first single comes from Green Day who, after reminding the Idol-worshipping crowd about how they’re doped with religion and sex and TV, set their cover of Lennon’s anti-anthem to testimonials from people touched by the Sudanese atrocities. 90% of the proceeds from the single’s sale go directly to the Save Darfur-Amnesty International program, so buy, then delete. Everybody wins.

Great cause, terrible cover.
marilyn manson covered that about 4 years ago and I would say did a hell of alot better job.
Couldn’t I just donate 20 bucks to the program, and not have to hear the bad music?
I’m with Kyle here.
There was a Lennon cover album a few years ago that had a Screaming Trees cover of this song, way better version imo.
Be grateful that there are rock bands like green bay who still cares about changing the world. Great cover. Green Day rocks!!!
Why was this item tagged with ‘The Beatles’ as well as ‘John Lennon’? This song has nothing to do with The Beatles outside of Lennon’s status as an ex-Beatle.
Great Cover, Good Job Greenday!
anybody know what else is on the album?
Green Day are the best band in this world!
Their music always moves me…
I’m a sucker for Billie Joe Armstrong’s voice anyday. SO I like this. Green Day did a pretty good job of this song, so yeah….
well im a big greenday fan and i think this song suck’s they should stick to what they are good at
Excellent renake, and I am not a Greenday fan by any means. Just their name annoys me!

This song sucks greenday should stick to what they know
Sorry that so many people don’t seem to like the cover….I’m surprised, actually. I don’t know, I think it was the fact that Billie Joe put so much of his emotions for the cause into his voice. The video was powerful, and I can only hope that even those who hated the cover will appreciate the cause.
I’m glad that even if you wanna criticize the song itself, no one has chosen to shit on the cause. I think Billy Joe’s voice has improved exponentially over the years.
dis song is f%#@ing awesome! people who say it is shit don’t know what they are talking about!!
greenday is da bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great cause. great cover. perfect drive added. loving original and greenday cover.. loads of emotion in the tracks. good job greenday
