Hey Charlie - A Ballad For Charles Manson

Hey Charlie, finally you died
All your crazy demons still locked up deep inside
Hey Charlie, finally you dead
Can close the book, no more need be said

You paid the price, for your impurity
Lifetime spent, in maximum security
You killed those people, heart so full of hate
And to join them, we sure made you wait...

Did you ever wonder, about those you sent before
They had families that loved them, and who love them still
Or was it love that was the enemy whose existence you abhorred,
Was it love, that night, that you tried to kill?

Pig Nation, of the fat and the rich, they
Burned the brain and they flipped the switch
Had to Make them pay for all their hypocrisy
Had to Make them all listen to Mister Charlie

I guess what you wanted was to get some attention paid
But listen Charlie, getting it earned is how the game is played
No one is entitled to wealth and respect
If theres a next time choose not to expect

Cause there's a streak of mean that lives within us all
Most folk can suppress it, but some must heed its call
This world ain't fair, Nor never yet will be so
This truth - can set you free... set you free

Now you a small footnote, in Criminal history
Why you did it, perhaps ain't no big mystery
Self delusion, think you bigger than you are
And maybe you took it too far... way too far

So Charlie boy, now you underground
I guess your soul is somewhere, between the lost and the found
Future generations, they won't care who or why
Hey there Charlie, hey there Charlie goodbye
