%T AN ALIENATION OF GREEN DAY’S JESUS OF SUBURBIA
%X The Jesus of Suburbia song is one of the songs sung by Green Day. The lyrics
represent the social life of workers. It shows the depression of the workers because of
alienation. This encourages the researcher to discuss the issue of alienation. Thus, the
objectives of research are to know the alienation happened in the lyrics and the
struggle to free from alienation. In conducting the research, the writer uses the
alienation theory proposed by Karl Marx. The writer uses the descriptive qualitative
method. The result of this study shows that the four types of alienation occur in the
Jesus of Suburbia lyrics. The first is alienation from the product. It is found as in the
line the motto was just a lie. The second is alienation from the process of production.
It can be seen in the line get my television fixed//sitting on my crucifix. The third is
alienation from the essential species-being. It is as in the line to alcohol and cigarette.
The fourth is alienation from human beings. It can be seen as in the line from the
bible of none of the above. The struggle to overcome the alienation is done by the
character in the lyrics by leaving the society and the place where he has lived before
as described in the line and I leave behind//this hurricane of fucking lies.
