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
