What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives,
shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives
Attica, 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, Attica state, we're all mates with Attica state.
Free the prisoners, jail the judges
Free all the prisoners everywhere,
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care
Attica, 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 chance to grow.
Attica, 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, Attica state, we're all mates with Attica state.
Attica, Attica state, we all live in Attica state.
Attica, Attica, Attica state.
