<Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> "Jesus of Suburbia" on YouTube </Td> </Tr> <P> "Jesus of Suburbia" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day . It was released as the fifth and final single from the group's seventh studio album, American Idiot, and the second song on the album . With the song running for 9 minutes and 9 seconds, it is Green Day's second longest song (with the band's longest song being fellow American Idiot song "Homecoming", which runs for 9 minutes and 19 seconds) and the group's longest song to be released as a single . The studio version of the song, a five movement piece, runs just over 9 minutes and was considered to be unfriendly for radio, so it was cut down to 61⁄2 minutes for the radio edit . The long version was still played on many album rock and alternative rock radio stations . At most live shows on the first leg of the group's 21st Century Breakdown World Tour, the band would pick a member from the audience to play guitar for the song . The single has sold 205,000 copies as of July 2010 . </P> <P> American Idiot is a concept album that describes the story of a central character named Jesus of Suburbia, an anti-hero created by Billie Joe Armstrong . It is written from the perspective of a lower - middle - class suburban American teen, raised on a diet of "soda pop and Ritalin ." Jesus hates his town and those close to him, so he leaves for The City . </P> <P> "Jesus of Suburbia" was the second multi-part song the group formed . Armstrong said it took "a long time" to write the song . Dirnt said that it came about from natural rehearsing between the trio . The song was an extension of Armstrong's desire to write the "Bohemian Rhapsody" of the future . </P>
