Rolling Stone published their article online of some of the new songs they've heard. They talk about the music and posted some lyrics. They also reveal two more song titles, Restless Heart Syndrome & 21 Guns

Read the article
The title track quickly kicks into a familiar Green Day three-chord blast, but morphs into multiple movements like some of the more rock-opera-heavy numbers on American Idiot. “My generation is zero/I never made it as a working class hero,” Armstrong sings, making a reference to the John Lennon track the band covered in 2007. After a big drum breakdown, the song winds into a slower “Bohemian Rhapsody” moment. By contrast, “Know Your Enemy” is a straight-ahead rock song with a chanty “oh-way-oh-way” refrain. Opening powerfully like an AC/DC track, Cool drums furiously as Armstrong sings “Silence is the enemy so give me revolution.”


They also confirm "the trio will kick off a massive world tour of indoor arenas in July." Official dates will come later.

:D
