Sadie Lyrics
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.
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.
that’s what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. you’re losing
every opportunity to put us all away.
Your job is done here.
You’ve scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit here.
Just smile dear.
Make them thankful for every breath.
a scream, that curdling
The blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie’s broken .22
and they shipped you up the river
the same way
That you bound and gagged.
You shot and stabbed.
You tried to set them free,
but they’ve thrown away the keys.
I have no guilt in me."
This song is about Sadie Glutz aka Susan Atkins of the Manson Family.

That's what the insert of the Promo says:
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. 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 them all to death. If they revive them just sit here. Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath. This sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream, that curdling The blood they found on you. And your knives and clothing too. Charlie’s broken .22 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 them free, but they’ve thrown away the keys.
Where can I hear this?
buy the split with one man army
It's a great song. Trio's long time merch girl Heather Hannoura reads Sadie's little confession thing during the bridge.
This is one of Matt's best written songs.....He even gives us a rare guitar solo that isn't just chords.....good stuff
best song on the split
My favorite on the split too :D
I heard this song live for the first time on the punkvoter tour, it gave me chills at the end of the song when he said..."You know the light at the end of the tunnel you see when you die? I think i just saw it..."
