Attica State Lyrics


What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wivesAttica state, attica state
We're all mates with attica stateMedia blames it on the prisoners
But the prisoners did not kill
"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"
That is what the people feelAttica state, attica state
We're all mates with attica stateFree the prisoners, jail the judges
Free all prisoners everywhere
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and careAttica state, attica state
We're all mates with attica stateThey all live in suffocation
Let's not watch them die in sorrow
Now's the time for revolution
Give them all a chance to growAttica state, attica state
We're all mates with attica stateCome together join the movement
Take a stand for human rights

Fear and hatred clouds our judgment
Free us all from endless nightAttica state, attica state
We're all mates with attica stateAttica state, attica state
We all live in attica stateAttica state, attica state
Attica, attica, attica state

John Winston Ono Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician, singer, songwriter, and peace activist, born in Liverpool, UK who gained worldwide fame as a founding member of The Beatles. With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and "wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history". He is ranked the second most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history after Paul McCartney.

Lennon revealed a rebellious nature, and biting wit, in his music, on film, in books, and at press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist and artist. After The Beatles, Lennon enjoyed a successful solo career (that started in 1968, 2 years before the break-up of The Beatles) with such acclaimed albums as John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After a self-imposed "retirement" to raise his son, Lennon reemerged with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered less than one month after its release. The album would go on to win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
