What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives
Attica state, attica state,
Were 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,
Were 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,
Were all mates with attica state
They all live in suffocation
Lets not watch them die in sorrow
Nows the time for revolution
Give them all a chance to grow
Attica state, attica state,
Were 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,
Were all mates with attica state
Attica state, attica state,
We all live in attica state
Attica state, attica state,
Attica, attica, attica state
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, Were 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, Were 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, Were all mates with attica state They all live in suffocation Lets not watch them die in sorrow Nows the time for revolution Give them all a chance to grow Attica state, attica state, Were 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, Were all mates with attica state Attica state, attica state, We all live in attica state Attica state, attica state, Attica, attica, attica state Explain Request ×
