Burnin' And Lootin' - Live At The Rainbow Theatre, London / 1977
Did you say, 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 uniform of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
I'm saying
All we got, it seem we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
To survive
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Save your baby life
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Did you say?
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Give me the food and let me grow now
Let the Roots Man take the gold
'Cause I mean
All them drugs gon' make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Oh, did you cry?
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
All we got, it seem we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
To survive
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Save your baby life
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
I woke up in a curfew
Oh God I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize the faces
Standing over me
All dressed in uniform of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
I'm saying
All we got, it seem we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
To survive
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Save your baby life
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Did you say?
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Give me the food and let me grow now
Let the Roots Man take the gold
'Cause I mean
All them drugs gon' make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Oh, did you cry?
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
All we got, it seem we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we're gonna be
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
To survive
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Save your baby life
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
