West Memphis

Three little boys were found on the river On a sweltering summer night Not one soul ever figured it out Who created that terrible sight Now somebody's gotten away with murder And a horrible offense Well that's the way we do things in West Memphis They didn't like the music I listened to They didn't like the way I dressed They set me up with a forced confession I never had a chance They threw the book at me at my expense They got no common sense But that's the way they do things on West Memphis That's the way we do things on West Memphis That's the way we do things on West Memphis It's never been any different So don't come around here and try to mess with us Cause that's the way we do things on West Memphis I was framed and sentenced To a life in prison For a crime I didn't commit Wasn't nobody listened or rose in my defense Somebody planted the evidence and he's been lying ever since But that's the way we do things on West Memphis And after all these years they still refuse To say what really happened The crooked methods they used To frame an innocent man Are hiding in the darkest secrets behind every picket fence And that's the way we do things on West Memphis That's the way we do things on West Memphis Yeah that's the way we do things on West Memphis Is never been any different So don't come round here and try to mess with us Cause that's the way we do things on West Memphis Yeah that's the way we do things on West Memphis Yeah that's the way we do things on West Memphis Is never been any different So don't come round here try to mess with us Cause that's the way we do things on West Memphis That's just the way we do things on West Memphis That's just the way we do things on West Memphis
