John Lennon
Attica State
[Verse 1]
What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives

[Chorus]
Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

[Verse 2]
Media blames it on the prisoners
But the prisoners did not kill
"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"
That is what the people feel

[Chorus]
Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

[Verse 3]
Free the prisoners, jail the judges
Free all prisoners everywhere
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care

[Chorus]
Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Attica State, Attica State, we're all mates with Attica State

[Verse 5]
Come together, join the movement
Take a stand for human rights
Fear and hatred clouds our judgement
Free us all from endless night

[Outro]
Attica State, Attica State
We are all mates with Attica State
Attica State, Attica State
We all live in Attica State
Attica State, Attica State
Attica, Attica, Attica State
