Here it is! The official video was just published to their YouTube channel:
Cool! I'll watch it now, thanks for posting so quick!

I like it,much better then those horrendous videos they put out for miracle and boots
Yea it's a subtle shot at our current immigration policy - one that will go unnoticed by most.Agreed. So I guess they are using the lyrics in the song as a metaphor in this video to take a swipe at Trump and rise of nationalism.
Liberty, freedom, openness, opportunity and justice being the best thing about America, and the current climate we find ourselves in, is the walking away part.
Interesting take. I like the video. Its fun and better than some others this past decade or so...
And they’re performing on a boat right? Not a rooftop?
I am still not a huge fan of the song, although it has grown on me quite a bit from the initial listen, despite its obvious production issues.
The song is actually starting to gain some traction out there on multiple formats, if you actually look at the charts. Several people in my office have mentioned hearing it and liking it, and it's been a long time since that has happened. It's interesting reading posts from some severely negative people on this forum who seem to be rooting for the song to fail. The song is starting to catch on, and the video will only help.
I don't think I realized they are so dorky!
There is a word for what U2 have done with this song by changing is original meanning:
"Opportunistic"
.....And not in a flattering way.
I'm rooting for the song to fail, because I don't want the band recording more tripe like it.
A friend of mine has a theory that U2 wait for disasters, world altering events and things of that nature to release their music around. It's hard to argue with him now after this video comes out amidst all of the national anthem controversy lol
