What’s Up
by 4 Non Blonds
[Verse 1]
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"
[Chorus]
And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said "Hey, a-what's going on?"
chorus
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said, "Hey, a-what's going on?"

verse
And I try, oh, my God, do I try?
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh, my God, do I pray?
I pray every single day for revolution
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"
[Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh, uh huh Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh, uh huh
[Verse 1]
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
Woke Up This Morning
Well I woke up this morning with my mind on the power of the people
Woke up this morning with my mind on the power of the people
Woke up this morning with my mind on the power of the people
To RESIST
To RESIST
To RISE and RESIST
Walking and talking with my mind ......
Singing and working with my mind ......
Rising and marching with my mind...
Ain't Gonna Let Nobody
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me 'round,
Injustice
Turn me 'round, turn me 'round.
Ain't gonna let nobody, turn me 'round.
I'm gonna keep on a-walkin', keep on a-talkin',
Marchin' down to freedom's land.

For What It's Worth
by Buffalo Springfield
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are getting so much resistance from behind
Time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carrying signs
Mostly say hooray for our side
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop now
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Streets of Minneapolis
By Bruce Springsteen
[Verse 1]
Through the winter's ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
'
Neath an occupier's boots
King Trump's private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
[Verse 2]
Against smoke and rubber bullets
In the dawn's early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringin' through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead, left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good
[Chorus]
Oh, our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We'll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home, they killed and roamed
In the winter of '26
We'll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
[Verse 3]
Trump's federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow dead
Their claim was self-defense, sir
Just don't believe your eyes
It's our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem's dirty lies
[Chorus]
Oh, our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We'll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 4]
Now they say they're here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown, my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight
In our chants of "ICE out now"
Our city's heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis
[Chorus]
Oh, our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home, they killed and roamed
In the winter of '26
We'll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We'll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We'll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
[Outro]
EVERYONE CHANTS WITH US:
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out (ICE out)
ICE out (ICE out)

This Land Is Your Land
by Wood Guthrie
This land is your land, and this land is my land,
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking, that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley,
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps,
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was a-sounding,
This land was made for you and me
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me,
Sign was painted, said, "Private Property"
But on the back side, it didn't say nothing,
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice come chanting as the fog was lifting,
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, and this land is my land,
From California to the New York Island
From Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me
People Have The Power
By Patti Smith
I was dreamin' in my dreamin' of an aspect bright and fair
But in my sleepin' it was broken but my dream it lingered near
In the form of shinin' valleys where the pure air recognized
And in my senses newly opened
Well I awakened to the cry
That the people have the power to redeem the work of fools
From the meek the graces shower
It's decreed
The people rule
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bendin' low as if to hear
But the armies ceased advancin' because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
And they lay among the stars
Exchangin' visions and layin' arms to waste in the dust
In the form of shinin' valleys where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
And I awakened to the cry
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
Ooh and the leopard
And the lamb lay together truly bound
Ooh I was hopin' in my hopin' to recall what I had found
Well I was dreamin' in my dreamin'
God knows a purer view
As I lay down into my sleepin'
I commit my dream to you
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
People have the power
The power to dream
To rule
To wrestle the world from fools
Well it's decreed
The people rule
Well it's decreed
The people rule
And listen
I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
Oh we can turn the world around
We can turn the earth's revolution
We have the power
People have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The power to dream
To rule
To wrestle the world from fools
Well it's decreed
The people rule
Well it's decreed
The people rule
We have the power
We have the power
The people have the power
We have the power
