From the official video description:

There are times in life where you have to stand up and fight for what you believe in. As touring musicians one of the greatest things we got to experience is meeting people from all over the word, from all kinds of cultures, with all kinds of skin colors, sexual orientations and individual features. Diversity is what makes this life exciting and colorful - We believe in tolerance, human dignity and humanity! Rise Up, Tear Down!

At this point I feel like it's tradition to share both versions together, so here's the translation to English

Yes that's a real lemonade-making guillotine, built by Rusty. You might have noticed a plaque above the lemonade sign. That would be her name, Term Limits.

I swore I posted this a few months ago, but apparently I'm more forgetful than I thought. Either way, here's part 1 and part 2

I generally prefer to avoid these old school lyric videos, but in this case it was the only video where I was satisfied with the audio quality. Enjoy the throwback!

FWIW, this song was written in the 90s before the concept of crack babies were thoroughly debunked

Some of the more avid history fans might be thinking, "Casey Jones saved several lives, why is he being portrayed as a scab?"

The intro that Utah gives for this song doesn't explain it enough in my opinion. It's a fictitious and comedy song that uses the name recognition of Casey, simply because there weren't really any well known railroad scabs and Joe Hill was basing this song on the Ballad of Casey Jones in honor of a rail strike.
