Burnin' And Lootin' |
| This morning I woke up in a curfew |
| Oh God, I was a prisoner |
| Could not recognize the faces standing over me |
| They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality |
| How many rivers do we have to cross |
| Before we can talk to the boss? |
| All that we got, it seems we have lost |
| We must have really paid the cost |
| Oh, we burnin' and a-lootin' tonight |
| Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (One more time) |
| Burnin' all pollution tonight |
| Burnin' all illusion tonight (Oh, stop them!) |
| Give me the food and let me grow |
| Let the Roots Man take a blow |
| All them drugs gonna make you slow now |
| It’s not the music of the ghetto (Music of the ghetto) |
| Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight |
| Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (We've been suffering too long) |
| Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (Will you say cheer?) |
| Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (Yah yeah!) |
| Give me the food and let me grow |
| Let the Roots Man take a blow |
| All them drugs gonna make you slow, you know |
| It’s not the music of the ghetto (Music of the ghetto) |
| Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight |
| Burning all pollution tonight |
| Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight |
| Burning all illusion tonight (Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!) |
| Burning all pollution tonight |
| Burning all illusion tonight |
| We’ve been suffering too long |
| We’ve been, we’ve been, we’ve been suffering too long |
