-"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’"
