    I think you may be referring to Attica State by John Lennon...?

    What a waste of human power
    What a waste of human lives,
    shoot the prisioners in the towers
    Forthy-three poor widowed wives

    Media blames it on the prisioners,
    But the prisioners did not kill
    "Rockefeller pulled the trigger"
    That's what the people feel.

    Attica, Attica state, we're all
    mates with Attica state.

    Free the prisioners, free the judges
    Free all the prisioners everywhere,
    All they want is truth and justice
    All they need is love and care

    They all live in suffocation,
    Let's not wathc them die in sorrow,
    Now's the time for revolution,
    Give them all chance to grow.

    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....
    We are all mattes...
    We all live in......
    Attica, Attica, Attica state.
