This morning I woke up in a curfew Oh God, I was a prisoner too - yeah Could not recognise 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 seems 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) Burning all illusions 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
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (Ooh can't stop the tears) Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (We've been suffering all these long, long years) Weeping and a-wailing tonight
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
We gonna be burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (To survive, yeah) Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (Save your babies lives) Burning all pollution tonight Burning all illusions tonight
Burnin and lootin tonight Burnin and lootin tonight
