Burning and Looting
No, no, no
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah
This morning I woke up in a curfew (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, God, I was a prisoner too (too)
Could not recognise the faces standing over me (oh, oh, oh, oh)
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross (How many? How many?)
Before we can talk to the boss? (talk to the boss)
All that we got, seems we have lost (seems we have lost)
We must have really paid the cost, hey
We're gonna be burning and looting tonight (yeah)
Burning and looting tonight (oh, oh)
Burning our pollutions tonight (yeah)
Burning all illusion tonight (oh, oh)
Stop them, stop them, yeah (stop them, stop them)
Give me the food and let me grow (let me grow)
And let the roots man take a blow (take a whiff, take a blow)
All them a-drugs gonna make you slow (oh)
It's not the music of the ghetto (oh)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (who can stop the tears?)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (we've been suffering these long years)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (oh, oh)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (will you say cheer?)
Weeping, wailing tonight (but where?)
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah
This morning I woke up in a curfew (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, God, I was a prisoner too (too)
Could not recognise the faces standing over me (oh, oh, oh, oh)
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross (How many? How many?)
Before we can talk to the boss? (talk to the boss)
All that we got, seems we have lost (seems we have lost)
We must have really paid the cost, hey
We're gonna be burning and looting tonight (yeah)
Burning and looting tonight (oh, oh)
Burning our pollutions tonight (yeah)
Burning all illusion tonight (oh, oh)
Stop them, stop them, yeah (stop them, stop them)
Give me the food and let me grow (let me grow)
And let the roots man take a blow (take a whiff, take a blow)
All them a-drugs gonna make you slow (oh)
It's not the music of the ghetto (oh)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (who can stop the tears?)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (we've been suffering these long years)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (oh, oh)
Weeping and a-wailing tonight (will you say cheer?)
Weeping, wailing tonight (but where?)
