Burnin' And Lootin' - Live
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?
All that we get, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight, oh yeah
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion 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 from the ghetto, yeah
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight, oh yeah
Weeping and a-wailin'tonight, yeah
How many rivers, do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
All that we get, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight, well
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight, everytime, everytime
(Burnin' all pollution tonight), burnin' all illusion
(Burnin' all illusion tonight) Burnin' all, burnin' all, burnin' all, yeah
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?
All that we get, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight, oh yeah
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion 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 from the ghetto, yeah
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight
Weeping and a-wailin' tonight, oh yeah
Weeping and a-wailin'tonight, yeah
How many rivers, do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss?
All that we get, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost
That's why we gonna be
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight, well
Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight, everytime, everytime
(Burnin' all pollution tonight), burnin' all illusion
(Burnin' all illusion tonight) Burnin' all, burnin' all, burnin' all, yeah
