Unfourtunates Lyrics
Oh yeah we’re unfortunates
Combined with your throw away youth
He who hasn't broughten for ya
Don't matter if they do
But you never know them first
And we know that ain't true
Cause they say it's written for you
Don't matter what they do
But did you happen to see the paper today
See what them troubled boys have done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
All you unfortunates
Feel dying with it get on you
You know they coming for ya
Don't matter what they do
Cause we know the vision saw you
And we going all them play
Yeah they say they only written
They say they know your name
But did you happen to see the paper today?
See what them troubled boys have done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
Now keep going
Keep going
It's time to keep going/moving
It's time to move on
Did you happen to see the paper today?
See what them troubled boys had done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
Yeah you know it sealed them way
It was all a lie
So get up get going
See what them troubled boys can see
‘Cause the future is all knowing
You got to close and too close you'll be
So get up get going
See what them troubled boys can see
'Cause the future is all knowing
Yeah two close yeah two ghosts you'll be
Cause the future is all knowing
Yeah two close yeah two ghosts you'll be
Combined with your throw away youth
He who hasn't broughten for ya
Don't matter if they do
But you never know them first
And we know that ain't true
Cause they say it's written for you
Don't matter what they do
See what them troubled boys have done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
Feel dying with it get on you
You know they coming for ya
Don't matter what they do
Cause we know the vision saw you
And we going all them play
Yeah they say they only written
They say they know your name
See what them troubled boys have done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
Keep going
It's time to keep going/moving
It's time to move on
See what them troubled boys had done
Another unidentified youth
Mistaken for something he'd never done
It was all a lie
So get up get going
See what them troubled boys can see
‘Cause the future is all knowing
You got to close and too close you'll be
So get up get going
See what them troubled boys can see
'Cause the future is all knowing
Yeah two close yeah two ghosts you'll be
Cause the future is all knowing
Yeah two close yeah two ghosts you'll be

From the info blurb on PatchMusic: "Inspired by the story of three teenagers in West Memphis, Arkansas who were convicted of murder on minimal evidence."
Surprised there's no comments here.
This song is about 3 people who were clearly falsely convicted for the murder and mutilation of 3 young children. One was given the death penalty and the other two remain in prison for life. Multitudes of people have protested this injustice, but nothing has been done for these poor people.
This song is about a murder trial in Memphis in 1993 in which 3 people were falsey accused and conviceted of the murder of 3 young children. There was no physical evidence linking them to the crime scene and in fact new evidence shows that there was an unknown dna sample at the scene that wasnt linked to the victims or the 3 people convicted but the judge is still refusing to allow this evidence to be used in court. to figure out more if you want go to wm3.org there is tons of information there
its about the west memphis three.. if you really want to learn more in depth information about them you can go to wm3.org.. a great book about the west memphis 3 is called "devils knot"
Pparenti35 is right. And a couple of weeks ago the West Memphis Three were finally released -- I happened to come across it in the paper, and I recognized it as the story from Unfortunates.
