Burnin' And Lootin'

Burnin' And Lootin' - The Wailers (威勒斯)

This morning I woke up in a curfew;

O God I was a prisoner too

Yeah

Could not recognize

The faces standing over me;

They were all dressed

In uniforms of brutality Eh

How many rivers do we have to cross

Before we can talk to the boss Eh

All that we got

It seems we have lost;

We must have really paid the cost

That's why we gonna be

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;

Say we gonna burn and loot

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;

One more thing

Burnin' all pollution tonight;

Oh yeah yeah

Burnin' all illusion tonight

Oh stop them

Give me the food and let me grow;

Let the Roots Man take a blow

All them *** gonna

Make you slow now;

It's not the music of the ghetto Eh

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;

Who can stop the tears

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;

We've been suffering these long

Long a years

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

Will you say cheer

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

But where

Give me the food and let me grow;

Let the Roots Man take a blow

I say: all them

All them *** gonna make you slow;

It's not the music of the ghetto

We gonna be burning

And a-looting tonight;

To survive yeah

Burning and a-looting tonight;

Save your baby lives

Burning all pollution tonight;

Pollution you gatta tell

Burning all illusion tonight

Burning and a-looting tonight;

Burning and a-looting tonight;

Burning all pollution tonight
