1. Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf
2. Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I was scared and fearing for my life

6. [Bayan Ko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayan_Ko) (unofficial national anthem of the Philippines)

Written in 1898 during the Philippine-American War, the original Spanish lyrics protest against the “vile treachery of the Anglo-Saxon”. In the 1960s and early 1970s, it was revived as a protest song against Ferdinand Marcos, and banned when Martial Law was imposed in 1972. It was popular during the 1986 People Power protests.
