lyrics

Neil Young knew Charlie Manson
said he sort of spewed the tunes
he got turned down and didn't take it well
Neil sang Revolution Blues
it was in the dark on sunset
in some shady little crib
the Maharishis got good light and flowers
but this just wasn't it
in the mists of L.A. rejection
a madman got real pissed
he had this hold on his women
like they'd do anything for him
so he sent 'em to the canyons
they slunked past the barking dogs
they left bodies on the sofas
and they wrote words up on the walls
one man here has power
one man's got the knife
Charlie finally got a deal
and he signed on for life
they still interview him in prison
and treat him like the perfect beast
they zoom in on his crazy eyes
and edit all the words he speaks
and everybody knows him
he's as famous as those hills
some people want that weird sensation I guess bad enough to kill
