Attica State lyrics

Artist  : Yoko Ono 
Song : Attica State
 
-"it is my pleasure and privilige at this
very solumn moment to introduce a young man and
his wife.
Who saw fit to put down in music and lyrics so
that it will never be forgotten in our country,
by anyone, the tragedy of attica state.
There’s no more that I can say, ladies and
gentlemen. I would like to introduce you to john
and yoko lennon."

-"i’d just like to say, it’s an honour and a
pleasure to be here at the apollo and for the
reasons we’re all here.
This song, yoko and I wrote, is called ’attica
state’"


One, two, three, four!

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 the pris’ners, jail the judges,
Free all pris’ners ev’rywhere.
All they need is truth and justice,
All the want 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.
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.

-"thank you, aah, thank you, thank you,
aah,. some of you, eh, wonder what I’m doinh here
with no drummers and	no nothin’ like that.
Well, you might know I lost my me old band, or I
left it. I’m puttin’ a, I’m puttin’ an elecric
band together, it’s not ready yet.
Ah, things like this keep comin’ up so, I just
have to busk it. so I’m gonna sing you a song now
you might know
It’s called ’imagine’"
