"Rubber Bullets" is a song by the English band 10cc from their self-titled debut album.

In fact, it was about an Attica State Prison riot like the ones in the old James Cagney films.
[2]Bassist Graham Gouldman remembered: Kevin and Lol had the chorus and part of the verse but then got stuck.
[6] The single achieved sales of over 50,000 copies in Australia, being eligible for the award of a Gold Disc.
