Attica State
Yoko Ono

-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 andno 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'
