The song Unfortunates by State Radio, released in their album Year of the crow is about the West Memphis Three, three teenagers (Damien Echols, Jesse Misskelley and Jason Baldwin) that were tried for the murder of three boys and convicted.

West Memphis Three


About 18 years later they were released as DNA evidence showed signs of their innocence.
Come all the unfortunates
Come on with your throwaway youth
They say it's written for you
No matter what you do

'Cause you see something happened up in Robin Hood Hills
The Devil had his way
But the locals say they're on to something
They say they know his name

Did you happen to see the paper today
And see what them troubled boys had 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

'Cause there was an on-scene deputy
And 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 had 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 those troubled boys have seen
'Cause the future is all knowing, but get too close and you'll be

So get up get going, see what those troubled boys have seen
'Cause the future is all knowing, but get too close and you'll be

'Cause the future is all knowing, but get too close and you'll be
