Yeah I agree with you. What caused them to get arrested in the first place was because of the police forced a confession from a disabled person which caused the poor kid to lie. Not to forget but there were no parents present during the interrogation.
Awww warm vibes to those six boys. Three whose lives were taken by someone evil and the three boys whose lives were ruined or taken by the public/law enforcement and the evil that took the first 3 . I haven't heard of this before. Sorry if I misunderstood something important. I thank you guys Disturbed for always being so true and direct ....and still my favourite since I was 12 years old. Now 33 yrs. Brightest blessings from a Valkyrie in Iceland. Stay safe.
Lyrics: I often wonder why I sit and wait to die What have I done to justify the sentence they gave? Too many hours spent in darkness questioning... How and why" I can't remember many moments in the light This retribution has defiled me to no end An execution without merit looms ahead Tell me why! I was a boy who had to live his own way I never fit into the model they had designed I chose a path less taken I stood with others who had often felt the same We got our stares from passersby Our dark attire seemed to frighten people away And when the three young boys died They pointed fingers and entangled us in a lie No hope in sight... I sit here terrified (Terrified, terrified) Won't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light) Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes) Before the three of us have lost our lives Why was everybody so damn afraid? They blame the devil for the heinousness of the crime They justify their own faith We were labeled pawns of Satan for a time The three of us were attacked and disgraced For many hours we were questioned and someone lied One of us couldn't take it The simple matter was manipulated in time Fear made him lie... Now I sit here terrified (Terrified, terrified) Can't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light) Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes) Before the three of us have lost our lives Now I am terrified (Terrified, terrified, terrified) Can't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light) Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes) Before the three of us have lost our lives (In time, tell me why! Tell me why!) Can't anybody see through their disguise? (Through their disguise, through their disguise) Won't they believe we didn't take their lives? (Take their lives, take their lives) And now the three of us have lost our lives I often wonder why I sit and wait to die What have I done to justify the sentence they gave? Too many hours spent in darkness questioning... How? and Why? I can't remember many moments in the light This retribution has defiled me to no end An execution without merit looms ahead Tell me why!
I honestly thought these videos would have a lot more comments and popularity, considering this channel has 3 million plus subscribers. Oh well, nostalgia is great.
One of my fiends loves this song because when I played it for her, she told me “I love it!” I can’t believe it’s about the West Memphis 3 & the murder of 3 young boys!! I was shocked when I found out about it!! I still to this day cannot believe it!!!
During the Satanic Panic thousands of people were imprisoned based upon complete and total falsehood. One case had the "victim" literally say that she was being instructed in what to say by the Prosecution but they were still convicted based upon the spoonfed testimony. Some, still to this day, are imprisoned based upon the delusions of Christians and a huckster fraud of a revoked license Psychologist convincing the world of repressed memory therapy.
1:58 Idk why but the way David said “lie” gives me chills
Cause his voice is bad a.
At least the West Memphis 3 are finally free.
Thank you Disturbed for helping to correct this injustice.

The West Memphis 3
Lyrics:
I often wonder why I sit and wait to die
What have I done to justify the sentence they gave?
Too many hours spent in darkness questioning...
How and why"
I can't remember many moments in the light
This retribution has defiled me to no end
An execution without merit looms ahead
Tell me why!
I was a boy who had to live his own way
I never fit into the model they had designed
I chose a path less taken
I stood with others who had often felt the same
We got our stares from passersby
Our dark attire seemed to frighten people away
And when the three young boys died
They pointed fingers and entangled us in a lie
No hope in sight...
I sit here terrified (Terrified, terrified)
Won't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light)
Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives
Why was everybody so damn afraid?
They blame the devil for the heinousness of the crime
They justify their own faith
We were labeled pawns of Satan for a time
The three of us were attacked and disgraced
For many hours we were questioned and someone lied
One of us couldn't take it
The simple matter was manipulated in time
Fear made him lie...
Now I sit here terrified (Terrified, terrified)
Can't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light)
Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives
Now I am terrified (Terrified, terrified, terrified)
Can't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light)
Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives (In time, tell me why! Tell me why!)
Can't anybody see through their disguise? (Through their disguise, through their disguise)
Won't they believe we didn't take their lives? (Take their lives, take their lives)
And now the three of us have lost our lives
I often wonder why I sit and wait to die
What have I done to justify the sentence they gave?
Too many hours spent in darkness questioning...
How? and Why?
I can't remember many moments in the light
This retribution has defiled me to no end
An execution without merit looms ahead
Tell me why!
Thanks
"His simple manner was manipulated in time" - the kid who lied is "simple" minded and the interrogators took advantage of that.
When a rock band fights harder for justice than our government ever will, that tells the story of a dying nation.
Because our government doesn't actually care about us in the slightest. All they care about is lining their pockets, whilst screwing the citizens.
your piss nation was never alive

The album this was released on isn’t particularly popular when compared to other releases.
One of my fiends loves this song because when I played it for her, she told me “I love it!” I can’t believe it’s about the West Memphis 3 & the murder of 3 young boys!! I was shocked when I found out about it!! I still to this day cannot believe it!!!
