What a waste of human power,

What a waste of human lives.

Shoot the pris'ners in the towers,

Forty-three poor widowed wives.



Attica state, attica state,

We're all mates with attica state.



Media blames it on the pris'ners,

But the pris'ners did not kill.

"rockefeller pulled the trigger,"

That is what the people feel.



Attica state, attica state,

We're all mates with attica state.



Free all pris'ners, jail all judges,

Free all pris'ners ev'rywhere.

All they want is truth and justice,

All the need is love and care.



Attica state, attica state,

We're all mates with attica state.



They all live in suffocation,

Let's not watch them die in sorrow. (yeh!)

Now's the time for revolution,

Give them all a chance to grow.



Attica state, 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 state, attica state,

We're all mates with attica state.



Attica state, attica state,

We all live in attica state.



Attica state, attica state,

Attica, attica, attica state.
