Singer Bruce Springsteen has written a song to protest what has been happening on the âStreets of Minneapolisâ the past few weekend.
The new song was released Wednesday and has âThe Bossâ bashing President Donald Trumpand his âfederal thugs,â in addition to the âdirty liesâ he accuses Stephen Miller and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem of telling, according to Mediaite.
The song starts off with Springsteen strumming on his acoustic guitar before he starts singing.
âThrough the winterâs ice and cold / Down Nicollet Avenue /A city aflame fought fire and ice / âNeath an occupierâs boots
âKing Trumpâs private army from the DHS / Guns belted to their coats / Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law / Or so their story goes,â he sings.
He then sings how Alex Pretti and Renee Good were âleft to die on snow-filled streets.â
Backup singers join Springsteen as the song continues.
âOh our Minneapolis I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist / Weâll take our stand for this land / And the stranger in our midst
âHere in our home they killed and roamed / In the winter of â26 / Weâll remember the names of those who died /On the streets of Minneapolis,â the lyrics go.
He sings of Prettiâs shooting, saying Border Patrol âbeat up on his face and his chestâ before the fatal shots were fired.
The song continues how this is part of the Trump administrationâs push to âtrample on our rights,â and warns that âif your skin is black or brownâ you âcan be questioned or deported on sight.â
Springsteen also praised the chants of âICE Outâ from protesters and insisted âour cityâs heart and soul persists through broken glass and bloody tears.â
Earlier this month, Springsteen spoke and he insisted ICE should âget the fâk outâ of Minneapolis.
