Come all the unfortunates
Come on with your throwaway youth
They say it's written for you
No matter what you do
Something happened up in Riding Hood Hills
The devil had his way
But the locals say they're on to something
They say they know the name
Did you happen to see the paper today
And see what them troubled boys have done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
Come all the unfortunates
Come on with your ghetto youth
There's talk on the police radio
Any suspect will do
There was an on scene deputy
He had it in for the West Memphis Three
Got them for murder of the first degree
But the crowd wanted more
Did you happen to see the paper today
And see what them troubled boys have done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
So get goin', get gone
So get goin', it's time to move on
So get up get going see what them troubled boys have seen
'Cause the future is all knowing but get too close and too close you'll be
