Burnin' and Lootin' (Live) Lyrics
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 d**gs 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 must sayall them all them d**gs 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 yeah yeah
Burning all illusion tonight
Lord-a Lord-a Lord-a Lord
Burning and a-looting tonight
Burning and a-looting tonight
Burning all pollution tonight
