Burnin'

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
