B
What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives
Media blames it on the prisoners
But the prisoners did not kill
Rockefeller pulled the trigger
That is what the people feel
D
Attica State, Attica State
E E7 B
We're all mates with Attica State
Free all prisoners, jail the judges
Free all prisoners everywhere
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care
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 cloud 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
Atiica, Attica, Attica State
