For the record, can we really say charles manson "wrote" those lyrics? They are old nursery rhymes. C. Manson used them in his song for his own specific reasons as did marilyn manson. I do not think that M Manson used them as any sort of reference to C Manson. While it is known that M manson has done covers (sick city) of C mansons songs, I believe M manson used these very old nursery rhymes in his own creative way. Korn did a simmilar thing with chutes and ladders. Its common for artists to draw from pop culture to make thier point. Whit rabbit anyone? I'm not bashing anyones interpretation. I think its great for people to take out of a song something meaningfull. I just don't think anyone can say C manson wrote thos lines. If anyone is interested you should look up C mansons work. It really is quite interesting.
side note: @ childofacid. you wrote: "For the record, Charles Manson never really killed anyone, he was just a very highly intelligent person who persuaded people to kill people such as Sharon Tate."
No C manson did not kill anyone. however I take issue at your description of him as being highly inteligent. He was infact not very smart. Talented maybe, but not very bright. he was abandoned by his prostitute mother at an early age and in and out of jail all his life. He was institutionalized and never educated. He was very charismatic and came out of jail during the huge psychedelic explosion. His accomplishments were because of time and place, not intelligence.
I agree that they used them for their own specific reasons, and I'm not trying to undermine what you are saying, I just thought everyone would like to know that in his book "The Long, Hard Road Out of Hell", he says that it was a direct reference to C Manson, which nobody would really know without reading the book. I enjoyed reading your interpretation of the song, keep up the good work.

@mannyr i agree that he wasn't particularly special, but he wasn't unintelligent. he thought outside the box that we all feel so secure in. he was definitely never as interesting as people thought he was. in my opinion, the world should pay as much attention to Ted Kaczynski as it's wasted on Manson. He's legitimately smarter than us.
