Song lyrics
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 Miss Susan A., your losing every opportunity
To put us all away

Now run along my little nightmare
Your job is done here
You've scared them all to death
If they revive them, just sit there
Just smile, dear, make them thankful for every breath
This sentence may seem like a lifetime
A scream, that's curdling the blood they found on you
And your knives and clothing too
Charlie's broken .22

'Sadie G., she's crazy, see?'
That's what the white coats say
Now Miss Susan A., your losing every opportunity
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

[Female speaking:]
He represented a God to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him.
I'd do anything for God, even murder if I believed it was right.
How could it not be right if it is done with love?
I have no remose for doing what was right to me.
I have no guilt in me.

[Singing:]
Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoa...
Whoa...

Wow this song is amazing. They sing about really deep things and they rock. I get to see them for the first time on Sep. 17! Along with MCR (my third time seeing them) and Reggie and the Full Effect.

Yeah, she says:

"He represented a God to me, that was so beautiful, that i'd do anything for him.
I'd do anything for God, even murder, if i believed it was right.
How can it not be right if it is done with love?
I have no remorse for doing what was right to me.
I have no guilt in me..."

She's quoting Sadie G's testimony.
Hope that helped.

There is nothing more dangerous in the world than a girl who is dangerous... and knows it. This song articulates that so well... I love the Alkline Trio.

It says on wikipedia that the lyrics of the song are relating to Charles Manson and the 'family'.
