BURNIN' AND LOOTIN' - Bob Marley & The Wailers(Bob Marley)
This morning I woke up in a curfew
Oh God, I was a prisoner too, yeah
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality, hey
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the Boss, hey
All of 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 (a 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, yeah
All them drugs gonna make you slow, now
It's not the music of the ghetto, hey
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (ooh can't stop the tears)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (we've been suffering these long, long years)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (will you say cheer?)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (but where)
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the root man take a blow, hey I say
All them, all them drugs gonna make you slow
It's not the music of the ghetto
We gonna be burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (to survive, yeah)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (save your babies' lives)
Burnin' all pollution tonight (pollution...)
Burnin' all illusion tonight (Lord a Lord a Lord a Lord a Lord)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight
