1
This morning I woke up in a curfew;
2
O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
3
Could not recognize the faces standing over me;
4
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. Eh!
5
How many rivers do we have to cross,
6
Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!
7
All that we got, it seems we have lost;
8
We must have really paid the cost.
9
(That's why we gonna be)
10
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;
11
(Say we gonna burn and loot)
12
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;
13
(One more thing)
14
Burnin' all pollution tonight;
15
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
16
Burnin' all illusion tonight.
17
Oh, stop them!
18
Give me the food and let me grow;
19
Let the Roots Man take a blow.
20
All them drugs gonna make you slow now;
21
It's not the music of the ghetto. Eh!
22
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;
23
(Who can stop the tears?)
24
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;
25
(We've been suffering these long, long-a years!)
26
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
27
(Will you say cheer?)
28
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
29
(But where?)
30
Give me the food and let me grow;
31
Let the Roots Man take a blow.
32
I must say: all them - all them drugs gonna make you slow;
33
It's not the music of the ghetto.
34
We gonna be burning and a-looting tonight;
35
(To survive, yeah!)
36
Burning and a-looting tonight;
37
(Save your baby lives)
38
Burning all pollution tonight;
39
(Pollution, yeah, yeah!)
40
Burning all illusion tonight
41
(Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!)
42
Burning and a-looting tonight;
43
Burning and a-looting tonight;
44
Burning all pollution tonight. /fadeout/
