The video for “Streets of Minneapolis”, the Springsteen song

One day after its surprise release, Bruce Springsteen’s new protest song has a video. “Streets of Minneapolis” was shared on YouTube and other platforms, directed by Thom Zimny ​​- the Boss’ trusted director – and with images from the street protests, edited by Pam Springsteen, his sister.

“On Saturday I wrote this song, yesterday I recorded it and today I released it in response to the state terror that is affecting the city of Minneapolis. It is dedicated to Minneapolis, to our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good” Springsteen wrote yesterday.

these are the lyrics of the song, a protest song that echoes Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row” in its metric structure and that attacks Trump, the actions of ICE and remembers the two people killed, Alex Pretti and Rene Good.

Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies
