Burnin' and Lootin' (Live at The Lyceum, London July 17, 1975)
This morning I woke up in a curfew
Oh God, I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
All dressed in uniforms of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss? I'm singin'
All we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Root Man take the gold, I say
'Cause all them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
How many river, how many river
Do we have to cross, talk to the boss
And what more, if only that we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (burning and a-looting)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (oh lordy lordy)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusions tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (who can stop the tears tonight?)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (suffering these tears tonight)
Oh God, I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
All dressed in uniforms of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss? I'm singin'
All we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Root Man take the gold, I say
'Cause all them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
How many river, how many river
Do we have to cross, talk to the boss
And what more, if only that we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (burning and a-looting)
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (oh lordy lordy)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusions tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (who can stop the tears tonight?)
Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (suffering these tears tonight)
