Track Description

"Death to My Hometown" is a song written and recorded by American musician Bruce Springsteen and it is expected to be the third single from his album, Wrecking Ball. It is a thinly-veiled protest song notable for Springsteen's experimentation with Celtic-Rock rhythms.
"Death to My Hometown" became a staple of the Wrecking Ball Tour, usually being played towards the beginning of the sets. The tin whistle riff from the album version was handed over to the newly assembled 5-piece horn section during the shows. The song has been played at every Wrecking Ball show as of June 11, 2012.
The song is an allegorical protest song concerning the causes and fallout of the 2008 Economic Crisis. Springsteen uses archaic imagery to show how "death" came to his hometown not by war, but by reckless economic practices. He also references the lack of accountability for the dishonest practices by bankers that lead to the crisis in the first place. "The greedy thieves who came around/And ate the flesh of everything they found/Whose crimes have gone unpunished now/Who walk the streets as free men now," he sings.
