Something in the Air
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK_6TU1T7V8

Call out the instigators
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo
We're going to blast our way through here
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together

3. Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you.
Put them on the defensive. And don't ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman

4. WooHoo Whisp!
I've posted this vid about a zillion -- a zillion! -- times and it's always sunk like a stone. Must have been my timing. :7

Thanks for posting it NOW!

5. A Change is Gonna Come, Sam Cooke
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48K5Y0421Ig

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
< Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/sam_cooke/a_change_is_gonna_come.html >
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

6. Tom Joad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yer4L1Uhayc

Tom Joad: I been thinking about us, too, about our people living like pigs
and good rich land layin' fallow. Or maybe one guy with a million acres and
a hundred thousand farmers starvin'. And I been wonderin' if all our folks got together and yelled...

Ma Joad: Oh, Tommy, they'd drag you out and cut you down just like they done to Casy.

Tom Joad: They'd drag me anyways. Sooner or later they'd get me for one thing if not for another. Until then...

Ma Joad: Tommy, you're not aimin' to kill nobody.

Tom Joad: No, Ma, not that. That ain't it. It's just, well as long as I'm an outlaw anyways... maybe I can do somethin'...
maybe I can just find out somethin', just scrounge around and maybe find out what it is that's wrong and see if
they ain't somethin' that can be done about it. I ain't thought it out all clear, Ma. I can't. I don't know enough.

Ma Joad: How am I gonna know about ya, Tommy? Why they could kill ya and I'd never know.
They could hurt ya. How am I gonna know?

Tom Joad: Well, maybe it's like Casy says. A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul,
the one big soul that belongs to everybody, then...

Ma Joad: Then what, Tom?

Tom Joad: Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look -
wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy,
I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry
and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build -
I'll be there, too.


Ma Joad: I don't understand it, Tom.
Tom Joad: Me, neither, Ma, but - just somethin' I been thinkin' about.

7. What's Going On
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9KC7uhMY9s

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

9. Great song, but you can hold "the arms and ammo."
Hand out the camcorders and camera phones.

The truth is all the weapon we need.
