#KleeBenally's acoustic cover of #TheRamones song "I Believe in Miracles."

Klee: "One of my favorite Ramones songs of all times. I've covered this before live and with my previous band.

"I believe in miracles
I believe in a better world for me and you
I believe in miracles
I believe in a better world for me and you"

#KleeBenally on his cover of the #BobMarley's song "Redemption Song":

"I have a complicated feeling about this song but wanted to fit in with a Diné hand drum style... you can read about that story on my patreon ;)

"This is also for my Afro-Indigenous relatives and all those combating anti-Blackness that is perpetuated in many Indigenous communities. For #Diné '#Nahiłi' is a term my sister Radmilla Cody has introduced to address anti-Blackness in #DinéBikeyah. If I ever perform this live, it would definitely be a shout out for all those challenging #AntiBlackness and showing love for #AfroIndigenous relatives."

#KleeBenally's on his cover of the #TomWaits song "Earth Died Screaming."

"#Climatechange is a consequence of the war against #MotherEarth.
The #greenwashing of #capitalism and #colonialism perpetuates the nightmare of #ecocide and #genocide of #IndigenousPeoples.

"#LithiumMining is intensifying to meet demand of 'green' #EV cars. This means further targeting and destruction of #Indigenous #SacredLands and water. Support #Hualapai & #Shoshone (and beyond!) resistance to lithium mining.

From mining, transport, milling, and waste, 'clean/green' #Nuclear energy is a deadly lie. There are more than 10,000 abandoned uranium throughout the so-called US that have been left to permanently contaminate our communities with deadly #radioactive pollution. There is also no permanent plan to deal with the highly radioactive waste from nuclear power generation. #YuccaMountain, a sacred site for #WesternShoshone, is still being considered for a national nuclear waste repository.

"For wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, #ResolutionCopper proclaims that they desperately need to mine the copper beneath #OakFlat, a sacred site for #SanCarlosApache.

"We can't ignore the brutal impacts associated with the sourcing of necessary metals and minerals needed to
'sustain' unsustainable ways of life.

"#GreenCapitalists and #colonizers dream, while the Earth dies screaming."

#PowerToThePeople

"Say we want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well, get then on your feet
And enter the street

Singin' power to the people, power to the people
Power to the people, power to the people, right on

A million workers workin' for nothin'
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town"

It's cathartic to sing this song at the top of your lungs, especially the last two lines. Here's the last verse.

"Tramp the Dirt Down" by Elvis Costello

Well I hope you live long now
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before
We fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment
That human life could be so cheap
[Refrain]
But when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down.

Get Up Stand Up

"Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

You, preacher man don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
You a duppy and you don't know
What life is really worth
It's not all that glitter is gold
And half the story has never been told
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights
Come on

Get up, stand up, brother
Stand up for your rights, come on
Get up, stand up, sisters
Don't give up the fight, I'm beggin' you to
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight

'Cause you know most people think
A great God will come from the skies
Take away every little thing
And left everybody dry
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours right here on earth
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights
Come on

Get up, stand up
Don't make them push you 'round
Stand up for your rights, come on brothers
Get up, stand up, be brave, now
Don't give up the fight, I say
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Don't let them hold you down
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of this game of technology
Humbly asking Jesus for His mercy
We know and we know and understand
Almighty Jah is a living man
You fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights
Come on

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights, come on brothers
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight
Don't let them push you 'round
I say, get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Come on sisters
Get up, stand up
I say don't give up the fight"

Strength

"Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

Who will light the fire that I need to survive
Who will be the life blood coursing through my veins
Like a river flowing that will never change
I need someone I can depend on

I’m a man of emotion who can’t hide the tears
I’m a man of feeling who can’t hide the pain
I’m alone on the outskirts of town where no one knows my name
I’m at the point in my life where I need affection

Give me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live for

Someone write me a letter, I need to know that I’m still alive
Someone give me a telephone call, I need to hear a human sound
Someone open up a door and let me out of this place
I’ve been caged up for oh so long, I don’t know if I’m living or dying

Give me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live for

I walk alone, across the outskirts of town
I can’t control what I’m going through now
Will you light the fire that I need to survive
Will you donate the life blood coursing through my veins
Will you open up the door and let me out of this place
I’ve been caged up for oh so long, I don’t know if I’m living or dying

Give me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live for"

Idiots Rule

"I got a lie
A fat fuckin' lie
About a law
Idiots obey
They made it easy
Now cheaters have their way
You hi-di-ho's
You're living on your knees
Forget the rule!
Oh - idiots rule!
Forget the rule!
Oh - idiots rule!
Idiot!"

When The Generals Talk

"Up there, up there, up there on the platform
He is speaking to the people
The people are responding
With clapping and a cheering
But the meaning of the message
Not revealed to those assembled
They're taken for a ride
Taken in his stride

"When the Generals talk
You better listen to him
When the Generals talk
You better do what he say
When the Generals talk
You better listen to him
When the Generals talk
You better do what he say"
