Burnin' and Lootin'
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?
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We have to really pay the cost
We're burnin' and lootin' tonight
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (one more time)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight (yeah, yeah)
(Lord of all)
Give me the food and let me grow now
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music of the ghetto (the music of the ghetto)
Weeping and wailin' tonight
Weeping and wailin' tonight (we've been suffering too long)
Weeping and wailin' tonight (will you say cheer?)
Weeping and wailin' tonight (uh, yeah, yeah)
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them, all them drugs gonna make you slow, you know
It's not the music of the ghetto (music of the ghetto)
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight (one more time)
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (Lord, Lord, Lord)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Yeah, yeah (we've been suffering too long)
Yeah, yeah (we've been, we've been-)
(We've been suffering too long)
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?
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We have to really pay the cost
We're burnin' and lootin' tonight
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (one more time)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight (yeah, yeah)
(Lord of all)
Give me the food and let me grow now
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them drugs gonna make you slow now
It's not the music of the ghetto (the music of the ghetto)
Weeping and wailin' tonight
Weeping and wailin' tonight (we've been suffering too long)
Weeping and wailin' tonight (will you say cheer?)
Weeping and wailin' tonight (uh, yeah, yeah)
(Lord, Lord, Lord)
Give me the food and let me grow
Let the Roots Man take a blow
All them, all them drugs gonna make you slow, you know
It's not the music of the ghetto (music of the ghetto)
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Burnin' all pollution tonight (one more time)
Burnin' and lootin' tonight
Burnin' and lootin' tonight (Lord, Lord, Lord)
Burnin' all pollution tonight
Burnin' all illusion tonight
Yeah, yeah (we've been suffering too long)
Yeah, yeah (we've been, we've been-)
(We've been suffering too long)
