Burning And Looting - Live At The Lyceum, London/July 18,1975
This morning I woke up in a curfew
O God, I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize 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?
I'm singin'
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burning and looting tonight, yaw, eh
Burning and lootin' tonight
One more thing
Burning all pollution tonight, oh, oh, eh
Burning all illusion tonight, ay, ay
I say
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the roots man take the cold
I made a mistake
But all we got, Lord-Lord we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burning and a-looting tonight (burning and looting)
Burning and looting tonight (ah)
Burning all pollution tonight
Burning all illusion tonight, ay, ay
Come on brother
I say
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the roots man take the cold
I know, all them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto, eh
I say
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (weeping and a -wailing)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight, ay, ay, eh
We're burning and a-looting tonight
Burning and a-looting tonight
Oh, one more time because
We're burning all illusion tonight
You hear what I say
Burning all illusion tonight, ay, ay, eh
O God, I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize 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?
I'm singin'
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burning and looting tonight, yaw, eh
Burning and lootin' tonight
One more thing
Burning all pollution tonight, oh, oh, eh
Burning all illusion tonight, ay, ay
I say
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the roots man take the cold
I made a mistake
But all we got, Lord-Lord we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burning and a-looting tonight (burning and looting)
Burning and looting tonight (ah)
Burning all pollution tonight
Burning all illusion tonight, ay, ay
Come on brother
I say
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the roots man take the cold
I know, all them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto, eh
I say
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (weeping and a -wailing)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight, ay, ay, eh
We're burning and a-looting tonight
Burning and a-looting tonight
Oh, one more time because
We're burning all illusion tonight
You hear what I say
Burning all illusion tonight, ay, ay, eh
