[Intro]

[Chorus]
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it do something about it
[Verse 1]
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave we say that she don't love us
If she's real we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she's above us
[Chorus]
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is. If you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah yeah better scream about it hit it!
[Solo]
| | | | |
| | | | |
[Verse 2]
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
[Chorus]
Oh woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is. If you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with
Oh woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah alright ... hit it!
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
[Chorus]
Oh well woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is. If you don't believe me take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is. If you believe me better scream about it
[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives
[Chorus]
Attica State Attica State we're all mates with Attica State
[Verse 2]
Media blames it on the prisoners
But the prisoners did not kill
"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"
That is what the people feel
[Chorus]
Attica State Attica State we're all mates with Attica State
[Verse 3]
Free the prisoners jail the judges
Free all prisoners everywhere
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care
[Chorus]
Attica State Attica State we're all mates with Attica State
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Attica State Attica State we're all mates with Attica State
[Verse 5]
Come together join the movement
Take a stand for human rights
Fear and hatred clouds our judgement
Free us all from endless night
[Outro]
Attica State Attica State we're all mates with Attica State
Attica State Attica State we're all mates with Attica State
Attica State Attica State Attica Attica Attica State

4. Born in a Prison - Yoko Ono & John Lennon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
| | | | |
[Verse 1]
We're born in a prison raised in a prison
Sent to a prison called school
We cry in a prison we love in a prison
We dream in a prison like fools
[Chorus]
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
[Interlude]
| | | | |
[Verse 2]
We live with no reason kicked round for no reason
Thrown out without reason like tools
Work in a prison and hate in a prison
And die in a prison as a rule
[Chorus]
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
[Interlude]
| | | | |
[Verse 3]
We live in a prison among judges and wardens
And wait for no reason or use
We laugh in a prison go through all four seasons
And die with no vision of truth
[Chorus]
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
[Interlude]
Born in a prison!
Born in a prison!

Born in prison! Born in prison! Born in prison!

[Verse 1]
Standing on the corner just me and Yoko Ono
We was waiting for Jerry to land
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing "Have a marijuana if you can"
His name was David Peel we found that he was real
He sang "The Pope Smokes Dope Everyday"
Up come the policeman shoved us up the street
Singin "Power to the People today!"
[Chorus]

Well down to Max's City
Put down the nitty gritty with the Elephants Memory Band
Laid something down as the news spread around
About the Plastic Ono Elephant#s Memory Band!
Played some funky boogie and laid some "Tutti Frutti"
Singing "Long Tall Sally's a man"
Up come a preacher man trying to be a teacher
Singing "God's a red herring in drag!"

Well we did the Staten Island Ferry
Making movies for the telly
Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom
Tried to shake our image
Just a cycling through the Village
But found that we had left it back in London
Well nobody came to bug us hustle us or shove us
We decided to make it our home
If the man wants to shove us out
We gonna jump and shout
The Statue of Liberty said "Come!"

[Verse 1]
Well it was Sunday bloody Sunday
When they shot the people there
The cries of thirteen martyrs
Filled the free Derry air
Is there any-one among you
Dare to blame it on the kids?
A N.C.
Not a soldier boy was bleeding
N.C.
When they nailed the coffin lids!
[Chorus]
Sunday bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday’s the day!
[Verse 2]
You claim to be majority
Well you know that it's a lie
You're really a minority
On this sweet emerald isle.
When Stormont bans our marchers
They've got a lot to learn
A N.C.
Internment is no answer
N.C.
It's those mother's turn to burn!

How dare you hold to ransom

Keep Ireland for the Irish

Put the English back to sea!

Keep Falls Road free forever
From the bloody English hands
Repatriate to Britain
All of you who call it home
A N.C.
Leave Ireland to the Irish
N.C.
Not for London or for Rome!

[Verse 1]
If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead
[Verse 2]
A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands - goddamn goddamn
[Bridge]
If you could keep voices like flowers
there'd be shamrock all over the world
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
Then the world would be high as the Mountains of Mourne
[Verse 3]
In the 'Pool they told us the story
How the English divided the land
of the pain the death and the glory
And the poets of old Ireland
[Bridge]
If we could make chains with the morning dew
the world would be like Galway Bay
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
the world would be one big Blarney stone
[Verse 4]
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side
Blame it all on the kids and the IRA
As the bastards commit genocide - aye aye genocide
[Verse 5]
If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead
Yes you’d wish you was English instead

If we count their windows
There may be not much difference

We're all water in this vast vast ocean
