arrested on the charges of first class murder
they were gigglin' on the witness stand
vincent bugliosi was the district attorney
and he beat that manson clan
he did his job, and soundly beat that manson clan

livin' in the valley, north of ol' L.A.
with the men and women of his band
they'd been stalkin' left and right and were yearnin' to slay
so sick, this long haired manson clan
just recreation, for this long haired manson clan

charlie had a history of causin' fear
and usin' people for his plans
he requires a little 'helter skelter', here
from his long haired self-named clan
a lotta trouble was this long haired manson clan

beautiful actress didn't get out alive
she was murdered by a brutal hand
her guests there at the party shared the same sad fate
from the long haired manson clan
the scene was bloody from that long haired manson clan

quickly they dispersed because they had to haul ass
back to charlie's in their creaky sedan
the very next night, they made another dispatch
that ol' long haired manson clan
the labiancas met the long haired manson clan

the ranch was not left standin' and the gang is gone
the evidence erased from the land
and off, gettin' old, in a federal home
you'll find that long haired manson clan
behind those bars, there lives that long haired manson clan
