Aging mascara-obsessed punk rockers Green Day altered their lyrics during a performance at Coachella to slam President Trump and his supporters, then set a palm tree on fire that prompted officials to disperse the crown in that area.

The band performed their song “American Idiot,” originally an anthem meant to insult former President George W. Bush, and tweaked the words to take a shot at Trump.

“I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” was oh-so-subtly switched to “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda.”

Attention-seeking at Coachella in Southern California has all the feel of Steve Buscemi in his ‘How do you do fellow kids?’ skit. It’s pretty sad when you’ve gone from raging against the machine to just trying to fit in with it.

Green Day just as based as ever.

Green Day and their frontman Billie Joe Armstrong also took a stand in support of Palestine, parroting propaganda from Hamas in the song “Jesus Of Suburbia”

With that performance, they altered the lyric “Runnin’ away from pain when you’ve been victimized” to “Runnin’ away from pain like the kids from .”

In an ironic twist, the band that talked down to over half of America by referring to them as “idiots” then launched fireworks from their set. In the desert. On a day when temperatures exceeded 100 degrees. In a location just a couple hours outside wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles.

One of those fireworks went off course, setting a palm tree on fire.

Fortunately, nobody was injured. But officials were heard shouting, “Everybody out, please,” as they evacuated the area and promptly extinguished the fire.

A firework just exploded next to me and all my friends at Coachella. I can’t hear out of my right ear, multiple people hurt. That was fucking insane, I thought it was a terrorist attack. pic.twitter.com/sCBhVuPJqu
