Bob Marley & The Wailers - Live At The Rainbow, 2nd June 1977

Burnin' And Lootin' - Live At The Rainbow Theatre, London / June 2, 1977

Woah, this morning I woke up in a curfew
O 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 singing
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
(To survive) Burnin' and a lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight. What did you say?
That we're buunin' all illusion tonight

Give me the food and let me grow now
Let the Root Man take a blow
I'm saying, all them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music from the ghetto. Hey

We're weeping and a-wailing tonight
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (weeping and a wailing tonight)
What did you say?
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (Weeping and a-wailing tonight)

How many river do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss
All we got it seems we have lost
We must have really paid a cost
That's why we're gonna be

Burnin' and a lootin' tonight
Burnin' and a lootin' tonight (Burnin' and a lootin' tonight)
Burning all pollution tonight (Burning all pollution tonight), did you say?
Burning all illusion tonight (Burning all illusions tonight)
(Weeping and a-wailing tonight)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight
(Weeping and a-wailing tonight)
(Weeping and a-wailing tonight)
