Brainwashed​

​
Charles Manson was not the nicest of blokes
He gathered around him some impressionable folk
And brainwashed their minds with consummate skill
And told them that there were people to kill

And these folk then went out and killed for their master
They believed it was right, but it was a disaster
For they were sent to prison to contemplate their crime
And then realised they were brainwashed, after a time

Smokers, themselves only, are brainwashed to kill
And they do this with the most consummate skill
Smoking one after the other with dogged persistence
One day I hope that they see clearly it's nonsense
