John Lennon - Attica State lyrics

What a waste of human power

What a waste of human lives

Shoot the prisoners in the towers

Forty-three poor widowed wives

Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

Media blames it on the prisoners

But the prisoners did not kill

"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"

That is what the people feel

Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

Free the prisoners, jail the judges

Free all prisoners everywhere

All they want is truth and justice

All they need is love and care

Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

They all live in suffocation

Let's not watch them die in sorrow

Now's the time for revolution

Give them all a chance to grow

Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

Come together join the movement

Take a stand for human rights

Fear and hatred clouds our judgement

Free us all from endless night

Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

Attica State, Attica State, we all live in Attica State

Attica State, Attica State, Attica, Attica, Attica State
