Lyrics
Verse 1:
Well I was sitting on my front porch
when the cops walked up to me
they said, please come with us son
and we became the Memphis Three
so now I guess I'm just a scapegoat
no chance for me to ever live
they're pounding me for information
but I've got nothing left to give
CHORUS:
do you believe in me
after it's all said and done
do you believe in me
do you believe in me
I'm alive, I'm alive
Verse 2:
just for the clothes I wear I'm hated
critisized burned at the stake
all I want is my FREEDOM
but that's the very thing they take
everyone thinks that I'm the devil
murder people in my sleep
I was just tryin to be myself
but you called me out, you called me a freak
oh why did you do that to me
CHORUS:
do you believe in me
after it's all said and done
do you believe in me
do you believe in me
I'm alive, I'm alive
Outro:
they've taken me, oh why did you do that to me
I was innocent I swear, I swear, I swear upon my grave
this my grave you see, six feet under right now
this is my grave
and I'm alive
