I have this song posted on youtube. Over a million views now. I also was able to find some interesting historical documents associated with the song in order to set the record straight about the origin and lyrics of the song. Enjoy some history!

Great song and great post.
" Get out of that door you Goddamn piece of shit" and than I felt the kick of the boot on my skinny ass and the small of my back- it broke my grasp of the tower door and out I went screaming like a little girl
