Cover of the song "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum. Everyone seems to forget about this band among the rest of the rock bands in the 90's, but no one can forget about the song that made them famous. Another request, this one from tadrockhogan.
Hope ya like it.

I wrote this song just before the invasion of Iraq, as a kind of companion piece to Axis of Evil. It is more of a protest song than the latter, which is really a fantasy and only indirectly a criticism of the war.
This song is a reaction to the Australian government's decision to support Bush's war, just as, in an earlier era, it had been "all the way with LBJ". It also comments on the irony of its refusal to grant asylum to refugees from Saddam's Iraq.
Lyrics:
Oh, come let us take the king's shilling.
Let us join the Coalition of the Willing.
Very soon Australian blood will be spilling
Just like it did in Vietnam.
Let us send our young men out to Iraq.
Ship them to the desert for a lark,
Marching onwards into the dark.
Send them out to fight for Uncle Sam.
Send them out from Melbourne and from Perth.
Who can measure what an Aussie life is worth?
Let's help the USA to save the earth.
Let's be a part of Little Johnnie's plan.
Some bleeding hearts are even asking why
Iraqi women and children have to die.
But don't think you can make Johnnie cry.
You people all voted for Saddam.
So don't try to seek asylum in Australia.
We'll make sure your efforts end in failure.
If you come to our country we will jail ya
And we'll send you back across the seas again.
We don't want you people over here.
You'd better get the message strong and clear.
We're sending you back home to live in fear;
Then we'll come and save you from Saddam Hussein.
Regime-change seems to be the latest trend;
We will bring this evil kingdom to an end.
Little Johnny wants to be Big George's friend,
So if we're in trouble he will lend a hand.
Oh, come let us take the king's shilling.
Let us join the Coalition of the Willing.
Come along and join in all the killing.
Let us fight and die for Uncle Sam.

Warning - This song is scary!
Way back in my teen years, I used to love reading (and writing) horror stories. This early song was presumably influenced by this experience.
Lyrics:
Coming round the corner with his eyes hanging down,
With a big red rag dragging round the town.
Not a hair on his great black head can be found.
Look out! Get away! Here comes the turtle man.
He can do you more harm than you'd ever think he can.
He's been around since time began
And I can tell you in truth that I ain't no fan
Of that big black ugly grey turtle man.
He's got nothing for you to see,
Nothing to get, to set free.
When he yawns there's more there than you'd ever think there'd be.
Look out! Get away! Hide while you can!
Here he comes. Here comes the turtle man.
I remember there were times when I wished I could die
Because that turtle man had me in his big ugly eye.
If you see him, you'd better try
To get away. Hide while you can!
Keep right away from the turtle man.
In these four white walls that hold me in tight
I think about the turtle man in the dead of night.
I scream at all the little people dressed in white,
"Look out! Get away! You know what I am!
You can't keep me here 'cause I'm the turtle man.
Look out! Get away! Hide while you can!
Here I come. Here comes the turtle man.
There will always be unstable people everywhere, you don't make things better by being afraid of them. They are LOSERS LOO-HOO-HOO-ZERS!.

300 the movie was awesome. So awesome that we decided to rip on it. Justin Milaski as Leonitis and Charlie Rucker and Steve Sikora as soldiers. Amanda Donaghey as the queen and Micah as the little kid.
