"In Streets of Minneapolis, the Boss condemns King Trump's private army from the DHS that came to Minneapolis to enforce the law or so their story goes. He names Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both killed by federal agents amid protests. He rages against Miller and Noem's dirty lies, referencing the faces of the Trump administration's onslaught against immigrants. In its familiar structure, with chords any beginner musician can play,"
"But unlike Blowin' in the Wind or A Change Is Gonna Come, it doesn't speak in metaphor. That probably means no one will be singing this song around the campfire 50 years from now; we can only hope the youth of tomorrow will be unfamiliar with private DHS armies. But it also leaves no doubt about its message. Springsteen, who says he wrote and recorded the song in the span of a weekend,"
Streets of Minneapolis condemns King Trump's private DHS 'army' sent to Minneapolis and names Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both killed by federal agents amid protests. The song rages against figures such as Miller and Noem and frames the administration's actions as an onslaught against immigrants. Musically simple with beginner-playable chords, the track echoes 1960s protest songs while abandoning metaphor for blunt denunciation. The recording builds urgency through chant-driven hooks — including voices yelling 'ICE out!' — and folk imagery of fire, ice, boots, and references to the national anthem and the Bible, ending with an unexpected note of hope.
