Lyrics
Attica State
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
