Manson’s opinion of 3 songs by the
Beatles
 Piggies: Have you seen the little piggies/ Crawling in the dirt/ And for all those little piggies/ Life is getting worse/
Always having dirt to play around in. Have you seen the bigger piggies/ In their starched white shirts/ You will find the bigger piggies/ Stirring up the dirt/ Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their styes with all their backing/ They don't care what goes on around/ In their eyes there's something lacking/
What they need's a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies/ Living piggy lives/
You can see them out for dinner/ With their piggy wives/
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

 Helter Skelter: When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide/
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride/ Till I get to the bottom and I see you again. Do you, don't you want me to love you/ I'm coming down fast but
I'm miles above you/ Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer/ You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer./ Helter skelter helter skelter/ Helter skelter.
Will you, won't you want me to make you/ I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you/ Tell me tell me tell me the answer/ You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer./ Look out helter skelter helter skelter/ Helter skelter.
Look out, cause here she comes./ When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide/ And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride/ And I get to the bottom and I see you again./ Well do you, don't you want me to make you/
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you/ Tell me tell me tell me the answer/ You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer./ Look out helter skelter helter skelter/ Helter skelter/ Look out helter skelter/ She's coming down fast/ Yes she is/ Yes she is
