U2 have unveiled a brand new video for "Get Out of Your Own Way."
 
The track appeared on the Irish band's latest album Songs of Experience, and the accompanying video drives home a powerful political message.
 
The animated clip was directed by Israeli art collective Broken Fingaz Crew, and it presents the current political situation by situating Donald Trump in the White House with hooded KKK members marching on the grounds outside his office.
 
As if the message wasn't clear enough, the artists offered a statement, which reads: "2017 for us was the year fascists worldwide felt confident enough to raise their heads again, encouraged by Trump and other world leaders, who use people's fear to build more walls and segregation."
 
There's plenty of other visual stimulation in the clip, as well, with literal interpretations of the lyrics and performance footage from animated versions of Bono and his bandmates.
