    Song Meaning
    A ... quirky song about Charles Manson
    Lyrics
    I ain't a politician
    I'm just a bad musician
    Whatcha gonna do for me?

    Do you have a taste for
    Sex and blood and hate,
    or really good LSD

    I'd like to start a band with you
    I'll sing and you can
    Learn to play the tambourine

    Here's an invitation
    No time for hesitation
    Come and join my family

    I live inside of you
    But you don't belong to me
    I'm a reflection of you
    What's my recipe?

    Half a cup satanical
    Teaspoon puritanical
    Stir with a bloody hand
    Quarter cup messiahcal
    Sprinkle of maniacal
    Now I'm a mechanical man

    I'll give you the heads up
    Come on and get your legs up
    This is called the family jam

    Together we'll stay hidden
    Wait for Armageddon
    Stick it to the man

    I live inside of you
    But you don't belong to me
    I'm a reflection of you
    What's my recipe?

    Half a cup satanical
    Teaspoon puritanical
    Stir with a bloody hand
    Quarter cup messiahcal
    Sprinkle of maniacal
    Now I'm a mechanical man

    [Talking]
    "Hmm! Watch this shit woman...
    Gonna learn something right now..."

    [Singing]
    Open up the curtains
    Then we'll start hurting
    Come on lets do the creepy crawl
    The shows about to go down
    Come on I got the low down
    Together we'll make Hollywood fall

    I live inside of you
    But you don't belong to me
    I'm a reflection of you
    What's my recipe?

    I live inside of you
    But you don't belong to me
    I'm a reflection of you
    You look at me and what do you see?

    Half a cup satanical
    Teaspoon puritanical
    Stir with a bloody hand
    Quarter cup messiahcal
    Sprinkle of maniacal
    Now I'm a mechanical man

    Half a cup satanical
    Teaspoon puritanical
    Stir with a bloody hand
    Quarter cup messiahcal
    Sprinkle of maniacal
    Now I'm a mechanical man
