West Memphis

Three little boys were found in 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

But 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 in West Memphis

Yeah that's the way we do things in West Memphis

That's the way we do things in 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 in 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 to my defense

Somebody planted the evidence

And he's been lying ever since

But that's the way we do things in West Memphis

And after all these years they still refuse

To say what really happened

The crooked methods that 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 in West Memphis

That's the way we do things in West Memphis

Yeah that's the way we do things in 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 in West Memphis

Yeah that's the way we do things in West Memphis

Yeah that's the way we do things in 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 In West Memphis

That's just the way we do things in West Memphis

That's just the way we do things in West Memphis
