lyrics

Growing up you must have been so full of joy
Playing in the grass with your puppies and your toys
So much ahead of you as a toddling young boy
What went wrong?

You went off to school with big dreams and high hopes
Just like all of use you didn't know the ropes
The kids would laugh at you, they thought you were a dope
Kids can be so cruel

Charlie, Charlie Manson
What happened to you?
Charlie, Charlie Manson
Ooo ooo eee ooo

They turned their back on you so you turned yours on us
Threw up a shell, a defense to adjust
Plotted your revenge on a society that was fucked
You formed a cult

You led those girls, directionless, and held them by the hand
As no one looked out for you, you looked out for them
Together, you all shared in something, a plan
You killed some folks

Now you are in jail you're never getting out
You just got hitched, I heard, but the honeymoon's in doubt
You're a clever guy though, you'll figure something out
Ooo ooo eee ooo
