Lyrics Interview - Charles Manson

Check this man, you′re born with a survival instinct, to be selfish.
The first thing that happens when they start giving you their thoughts and making things out of you that they want out of them.
And by the time you reach thirty you're exsactly what they want.
You′re a free soul standing in a cage who has to die because he was taught that he has to die and he has to eat because he was taught that everyone must eat. "
Why you'd go insane" and they said don't go insane and he said let me help you.
No not at all.
I was lucky i got out of the books early.
I was so smart when i was a child that I learnt that I was dumb, fast.
That′s the way it is with everything, not just me.
You′re taught that you can't, they even give you the word, take all the words away and don′t think in right and wrong, just think in truth.
And all the answers are there.
The sound of one hand clapping is simply the sound of one hand clapping.
There's no bigger answers.
All the big colleges that we′ve been building, it's taking people the other way.
The smartest people in the world are really the most cut off.
It′s this common people, man.
Progress?
There's no such thing as progress, there's only change.
You dig a hole in the ground and you build a city, and you fight a war and you call it progress.
And it′s a beautiful game and it′s a perfect game and whoever wants to keep on playing the general can go ahead and kill themselves, but I wouldn't want to play that game myself.
But it they want to play it, I love them for it, if they want to go ahead and kil each other.
The only reason they′re over there is 'cos they want to be.
And they can say but and maybe, but what it boils down to man, is this one thing, aslong as there′s hate in your heart there'll be hate in the world.
You cannot capture freedom, you can′t fight for peace.
It's just a simple idea, a little baby could figure out, but we've been putting cancer in it′s brain.
If someone beat you with the whip and you loved the whip...
It′s heaven right here Jack, right here.
