Lyrics

Attica State (Live)

What a waste of human

Power

What a waste of human lives

Shoot the prisioners in

The towers

Forthy-three poor widowed

Wives

Media blames it on the

Prisioners

But the prisioners did not kill

"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"

That's what the people feel

Attica, Attica state, we're all

Mates with Attica state

Free the prisioners, free

The judges

Free all the prisioners everywhere

All they want is truth

And justice

All they need is love and care

They all live in suffocation

Let's not wathc them die

In sorrow

Now's the time for revolution

Give them all chance to grow

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....

We are all mattes...

We all live in......

Attica, Attica, Attica state
