Attica State

It is my pleasure and privilege
At this very very solemn 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 to you
John and Yoko Lennon.

Uh-huh
(...?...)

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
It's called Attica State.

One two three four

What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives

Attica State
Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State

Media blames it on the prisoners
But the prisoners 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 prisoners, jail the judges
Free all prisoners everywhere
All they need is truth and justice
All they 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
A-ah
Thank you thank you
Er
Some of you might wonder what I'm doing here with no drummers and no nothing like that
Well as you might know I lost my old band or I left it
I'm putting
I'm putting an electric band together it's not ready yet
And er these
Things like this keep coming up so
I have to just busk it
So I'm gonna say a, sing a song you might know
It's called Imagine.
