Prince's new music video shows Arab American girl blowing up crowded airport terminal
View Music Video
Over the years, we've watched music videos evolve. And although there have certainly been music videos that show violence before, I don't think I've seen one that is quite as chilling as the new video out by Prince.
In the video, a young Arab American girl blows herself up in a crowded airport terminal, in what appears to be the US.
The video begins in what appears to be a schoolyard, with a group of teenagers. The girls react in horror, looking to the sky as they apparantly witness the 9/11 attacks.
When the girls realize who is responsible for the attacks, the backlash begins and she flees for home.
But when she arrives home, she finds a window with the words "terrorist scum" scrawled on it, and her parents covering the Arabic script on their business.
The girl changes into traditional Arab clothes, with hijab, and then appears to make a decision. She dresses in western clothing, takes her American passport, and goes to a crowded airport terminal.
The clip shows her pressing a button, then an explosion ensures.
Lyrics to Prince's Cinnamon Girl
As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon girl starts 2 pray
Eye've never heard a prayer like this 1
Never before that day
Tearful words of love 4 people she had never met b4
Asking God 2 grant them mercy in this face of a holy war
Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage
Never knew the meaning of color lines
911 turned that all around
When she got accused of this crime
So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi
What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie?
Cinnamon Girl
Don't cry, don't shed no tears
1 night won't make us feel
Cause we know how this movie's ending
Cinnamon Girl
As war drums beat in Babylon
And scorch the blood red sky
Militants bomb the foreign gun
Both sides truly die
Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores
Then she prays after the war that there will not b anymore
Cinnamon Girl
