Bruce Springsteen Dedicates ‘American Skin’ To The Memory Of Trayvon Martin

Posted by | July 18, 2013 13:19 | Filed under: Top Stories


Performing in Limerick, Ireland, the Boss implied we’re no less racist a country than in 1999.

Bruce saw a sign earlier in the show for “American Skin” and played it later on.

“He said, ‘Where is that sign?’ and grabbed it. He then said, ‘I want to send this one out as a letter back home. For justice for Trayvon Martin’

…Some of the song’s lyrics are:

“Is it a gun, is it a knife

Is it a wallet, this is your life

It ain’t no secret

It ain’t no secret

No secret my friend

You can get killed just for living

In your American skin”
