Sadie (Acoustic) Lyrics
Spoken:
"If you ever get a chance or if you haven't read it,
a book called Helter Skelter, it's a...well it's interesting"
Sung:
You're on your own my little nightmare
You cannot stay here, it's far too bright for you
If they attack you, just lay there
Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through
And seconds they seem like a lifetime, a dream recurring
A dream that can't come true
And they'll pin it all on you
After all you've been put through
"Sadie G. she's crazy see?"
That's what the white coats say
And now Ms. Susan A. you're losing every opportunity
To put us all away
You're on your own my little nightmare
Your job is done here, you've scared 'em all to death
If they revive them just sit there, just smile dear
Make them thankful for every breath
This sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream
That's curdling the blood they found on you
And your knives and clothing too
Charlie's broken .22
"Sadie G. she's crazy see?"
That's what the white coats say
And now Ms. Susan A. you're losing every opportunity
Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way
That you bound and gagged, you shot and stabbed
You tried to set 'em free, but they've thrown away the keys
(away the keys)

You tried to set 'em free, but they've thrown away the keys
"If you ever get a chance or if you haven't read it,

does anybody know what this 'book called helter skelter' is about?? great song anyway!
It's about the Manson family.
It's about Susan Atkins, nicknamed Sadie Gutz by Charlie Manson...the end quote "He represented a God to me That was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him. I'd do anything for god. Even murder, if I believed it was right. How could it not be right if it was done with love? I have no remorse for doing what was right to me. I have no guilt in me" was in her statement referring to how she felt about Charlie and the crimes she claimed she had no option in partaking in..interesting story, great song.
It's not about charlie manson. It was writen by him
Actually Helter Skelter was not written by Charles Mason.
"Helter Skelter is a true crime book by Vincent Bugliosi (with Curt Gentry) about the 1969 Manson Family murders and Bugliosi's own prosecution of Charles Manson and his followers."
Thank you Wikipedia
To valid my reference - Thank You Amazon.com Helter Skelter: The True Story Of The Manson Murders (Mass Market Paperback) by Vincent Bugliosi (Author), Curt Gentry (Author)
Helter Skelter is a great book. Its a little intense, cause well its about the murder. But deff read it. I bought the book because he told me to =] before i even knew what it was about.

Season 7, Episode 10, American Horror Story: Cult, November 7, 2017, had a pretty good reenactment of the Manson Family murders.
