Green Day - Working Class Hero

Today is Green Day's drummer Tre Cool's 36th birthday - Happy Birthday Tre. The guys haven't released a new album in a while, but I thought I'd feature a cover they did back in 2007 of John Lennon's Working Class Hero. They recorded the song for Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, which was released on June 12, 2007 and proceeds went to help support Amnesty International's campaign to focus attention on the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. This is a really good cover of a great song. Here's Lennon's original version. Enjoy!
