Posted by Denise Shively May 1, 2007

Fans of Green Day and John Lennon will be pleased to discover that Green Day's cover of Lennon's hit "Working Class Hero" is now available for purchase via iTunes.

As a matter of fact, this will be the second cover song for Green Day, as they worked with U2 previously to record a cover to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims.

You can also expect a video for their cover song. Shooting for the video will begin sometime this week, and Green Day will be working with director Samuel Bayer who they worked with for the videos from "American Idiot."

Green Day's song, along with covers from The Cure, Jack Johnson and others will appear on a benefit for Amnesty International. The campagin hopes to end the Darfur genocide.
